Hello,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

I have reviewed the attachments (attachment removed to protect patient identity). You do not seem to have any significant allergy issues. You have hypersensitivity to an allergen. I would suggest you get an allergy panel test done. Also, I suggest you apply a steroid cream to your face, which will reduce the local swelling. Your nose looks fine; the bridge of the nose is a little wider. But that is a normal variation.

I hope this helps.

Hello,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

I read your query and understand your concern.

I suggest you do the following:

1. You should do some facial muscle exercises to reduce facial fat.
2. You should drink plenty of water before working out.
3. You need to take a high-protein diet and whey protein.
4. You can get your IgE (immunoglobulin E) level tested and a skin prick test for allergies. The skin prick test will tell you specific allergens to which you are allergic.
5. I suggest you apply a steroid cream wherever you get swelling over the face, like Betnovate (Betamethasone and Salicylic acid). Local application of the cream does not have any side effects.
6. You should apply twice daily after washing the face and using a moisturizer.

I hope this helps.
