Q. What has caused this swelling on my face, insect bite or allergy?
Hi doctor,
I have some skin issue on my face. It looks as if some insect has bitten on it and a bit swollen. Is that due to some allergy?
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I have gone through your query and can understand your health concern.
- I have seen the photographs (attachment removed to protect patient identity). It looks like some insect bite only.
- Avoid scratching that area if you develop itch. You can take some antihistamine drug like tablet Levocetirizine 5 mg twice daily for five days.
- If you have pain, then take tablet Acenac-P (Aceclofenac and Paracetamol) twice daily for five days. Consult your specialist doctor, discuss with him or her and take the medicine with consent.
- Avoid touching that area frequently and do not apply anything over it.
