My face gets bloated with seasonal changes. How can I get this treated?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

When the season changes, you get these troubles right? Could you describe more?

Widening of the nose - Does it mean the nose becomes larger? Which area of the nose? The bony area at the top of the nose or the soft area towards the bottom of the nose? Do you have a picture of the widening? Does it happen during wintertime or during summertime? Are there any other symptoms along with that like running nose, nose blockage, decreased sensation of smell, postnasal drip?

The bloating of the face - Does it produce any redness or rashes? Like after eating peanuts does it cause itching and rashes? Do you get this problem with any other food item? Did you change your place of residence recently? Is it after your change of residence that these problems started surfacing or are they present for a long time? Have you taken any medicines to relieve yourself of these symptoms?

For how many days do these symptoms last? How do they resolve? Have you shown to any doctor? Have you done any blood testing? Any allergy testing like skin prick testing or blood allergy profiling have you got them done? If so can you share the report with me? Along with these is there any breathing trouble? any chest problem or wheeze or asthma? Have you faced these troubles after exposure to any dust outside the house? What is your profession and do you travel on a two-wheeler? Please provide us all these details.

Please click a picture of yourself from the front and from sides and upload to us. Do take a picture of open mouth showing details of the oral cavity and throat and posterior pharyngeal wall and send us. We will help you out with the problem.

Hello,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

I have gone through the attachments (attachment removed to protect patient identity). You do not seem to have any major 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 suggest you do the following:

1. You should do some facial muscle exercise to reduce facial fat.
2. You should drink plenty of water before gyming.
3. You need to take high protein diet and whey protein.
4. You can get you IgE (immunoglobulin E) level tested and skin prick test for allergies. The skin prick test will tell specific allergens that you are allergic to.
5. I suggest you apply a steroid cream wherever you get swelling over the face like Betnovate (Betamethasone Topical 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 applying a moisturizer.
