Why is my face still itchy after 5 days?
The skin around my lips, nose, cheeks and chin has been tingling and itching for 5 days in a row. There was only a little bit of redness around my cupid's bow and lining my bottom lip. The redness under my bottom lip has gone for 3 days but my top lip and around my nose has still continued to itch. There were also 3 tiny white dots on the vermilion border that have not changed shape the whole time, I tried to pop them but they do not pop. I went to the pharmacy and they gave me cold sore anti-viral medication (I have never had one before) and I took that 2 days ago. I am still getting this itching and tingling without extra redness or swelling. I also took antihistamines and they didn't help with the itching. Please help!!
