Feeling sick
I've noticed a swelling of my lip at first and thought nothing of it, but then I stated to get red irritated eyes with swollen bags under my eyes, I noticed some bumps that were really itchy around my face and forehead, then went down to my leg area and so on. I've had feeling of being hot on my head, runny nose and it's been 2 weeks now. some of the bumps went down, but more seem to appear as others fade. what do you guys think?

Thank you for your reply, I really thought no one was going give me any suggestions. I wanted to give you an update, I don't have the sore throat runny nose anymore, but I do still have little red bumps on my face and they just burn, I have some on my buttock and I have some behind my thighs, I have a hard time laying or sitting on them because they really burn or hurt. I don't know if I could give show you some images or not.

From the symptoms it looks like an allergic reaction and allergic rhinitis. You can take OTC antihistaminics like benadryl or Claritin. Longer-acting antihistamines are available by prescription. They cause less drowsiness and can work just as well. You can also use nasal corticosteroid sprays. Decongestants may also be helpful in reducing symptoms such as nasal congestion, but they should not be used for long periods. Cromolyn sodium is a nasal spray for treating hay fever. If the symptoms persist then you need topical and oral steroids for which I suggest you to consult a dermatologist.
It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your dermatologist. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
