I am a 24 year old female. i have 3 kids who constantly rub on my face. i have a reaccuring rash on the left side of my face that extends from my check to around my ear and down to my neck. the rash is itchy and blotchy. my check is hard to the touch and hot. two or three months ago i had this same rash except that it was just on my check. i went to the emergency room cause i had woke up to it and freaked. they gave me a perscription of Penicillin VK 500mg to take 1 tablet 4 times a day, and Doxycycline 100mg to take 1 tablet 2 times a day. the rash went away fairly quick and they told me i could stop taking the pills. i havent had any problems until yesterday. my check started to become red and hard to the touch again. i called the emergency room again and asked for the doctor that i had seen last time and he told me to start taking the medicine again if i still had it. well i took the dose last night and this morning when i woke up the whole side of my face is no affected. the area is hot and itchy. i havent scratched it because i dont want to make it worse, but i am so tired of this. the confusing aspect of this is that the rash seems to be localized to just the left side of my face. it hasn't spread anywhere else. im so worried that this could be something serious. my fiance says that it is just a irritation from my wisdom teeth coming in but i dont believe him. please doctor can you give me my face back.
