I woke up this morning with a hot, swollen, red, rash all along my cheeks, eye lids and forehead. I went to the walk in clinic this morning, because I've also been dealing with sinus-related issues. The nurse practitioner diagnosed me with a sinus infection but said the rash is just dry skin. Has anyone ever had this happen? It looks like I got stung by bees and is hot, red and burns. I haven't changed any products in the last month. Of course, my husband and I have a date tonight to celebrate my birthday and I look like I got in a fight with a bunch of bees.

Has it been really windy and cold where you are? It could be chilblains. I got that once all over my legs when I wore stockings in winter, owwwww!

@Nana87: It has been FREEZING and very windy. We're in Iowa and this week has been in the negatives with windchill quite a bit. Did anything help when you got it?
-
@jessibear: It was awhile ago, but I think I just used lotion with healing stuff in it from a drug store, like the kind you use for severely dry skin (Eucerin, Curel, Aquaphor--one of those kinds of brands). I hope it feels better soon, and also happy birthday!

@nana87: Thank you!

Ok now I'm leaning toward perioral dermatitis. Anyone have any experience?

Cetaphil is great and mild for dry skin and eczema. If you think it's something else, you'll want to see a dermatologist. Dermatitis is often treated with steroid creams.
It could be wind burn! My skin has taken a beating lately

What @blackbird: said! Sounds like an allergic reaction to me.

Is it really painful? Shingles?
-
@mrs bunchy: it's not really painful. More of a tingling sensation.
