Why is my skin on my face swelling? And how can I stop it?!
Question: Why is my skin on my face swelling? And how can I stop it?
My face felt a little dry last night before I went to bed so I put some of the lotion that I've been using for about a year, then I went to sleep. I woke up for school and my face felt bumpy from the nose down. I put makeup over it to hide it because it was very red, and I went to school. I got home at about 1:30, and immediately took off my makeup because my skin was burning and itching. I looked up ways to stop the redness and itching so I put an ice pack on the bottom half of my face and fell asleep.
I woke up about an hour later, my face still red and burning, so my sister gave me a benadryll but if anything, my face is just burning and itching even more.
What do I do? My parents left on a trip today some my grandma is staying with my sister and I, and I don't want to worry her.
I read that hair dye could cause an itchy or red scalp, and I dyed my hair on Monday night, but I don't know why it would affect the bottom half of my face and not my scalp. I also got new sheets over the weekend and I didn't wash them before I put them on my bed. Could that be the reason? Otherwise, my daily routines have not changed.
Thank you for your help!

Definitely an allergic reaction. You need to go to the drugstore and get an antihistamine and take it before bed as it will make you drowsy.
