Hi Cool, welcome to Healingwell. I'm so sorry to hear you have to deal with swelling. It's such a blow to the ole self esteem isn't it?? What sort of medications have you used and have you been on any long term? Do you get headaches at all? Have you tried a cool/cold compress for your face when it swells? Have you been tested for food allergies? I know, lots of questions but a clearer understanding will allow us to help you better.

hi there,thank u very much for ure quick respond.well i have used Letizen 10 mg for some months.i have used cetirizine 10.i have used doxifine for months.but nothing helped me.i have used cool compress i got no results.cause u know its like something watry under my skin that is so swollen and it moves when i do sports or run under my skin.i dont have headach at all.i dunno about food allergy cause this swell apeard suddenly and it was with me for a year and a half well it became less but didnt disapear completly and now when i wake up so early it becomes so terrible i think maybe its because of my nervous system .well at the first i went to a dermpthologist for the redness of my skin and she gave me gommage gel and doxycycline 100 mg cause i have a little spot too.i think maybe its the result of that gel cause my skin is so sensitive ,i dunno really i used doxy for 5 mont i took one pill after my lunch.i have got the alergy test and i have alergy to the dust,grass,seeds but thats test is for 3 years ago and i didnt have that swell in that time and im going to do that test again.well id like to know what do u think about it.thank u very much.i forgot to tell i have used Clobetasol topical ointment 0.05% too for the redness of my face and when i use it it helps and the redness diappear but after one or 2 days when i wash my face the redness comes again and i have to tell that at the first that swell was everywhere of my face but now it is less and my cheeks are alittle better but now under my cheeks on my face and aroun my chin i have it the most.thx
