Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have redness and swelling on face which could be due to due to various hormonal imbalances, stress, poor hygiene as it is formed due to clogged facial pores that get infected with bacteria. I would suggest you to apply cold compresses or ice pack to the affected area , stop using any cosmetic product that you started in recent past , protect your skin from UV radiations of sun and take antihistamine like benadryl twice a days . If condition doesn't get better in 24 hours then consult dermatologist again for proper examination . Doctor may order allergy test , skin patch test or blood test to confirm the diagnosis and may prescribe steroid medicine or antibiotics .
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
