s caused by an allergic reaction to something. Mine was the sun. My dermatologist prescribed me Prednisone for 5 days. It needs to be treated by an oral antibiotic to get rid of it. hope this helps.
thank you for your response,
i have been off of prednisone for 3 weeks, the first trigger happened while i was on prednisone, so i think that started the sun sensitivity,, i was on 40 mg at the time( for what my pc, and i thought was poison ivy) and went for a swim in the sun, and then bright red veins showed up on my forehead, my whole head started to tingle, and after a shot of solumedrol, i ended up with a rash on my forehead,, that burned, never itched, only when it traveled near my eyes
hello everyone,
i have a question for you that maybe you can answer or give advice. i am currently taking prednisone for a lupus flare. i have not officially been dx with lupus yet, but my doc said that she blieves that is what is making me sick. i have the history in the family of lupus, my own medial history, and the present medical symptoms of this disease, as well as some labs. my ana tests have all come out negative. my doc agrees with me on negative ana lupus.
I'm an 18 year old male and I have had a reoccurring face rash for 6 years. The rash is typically on my upper cheeks, 1/2 and inch or so below my bottom lip, sometimes and my jaw, and sometimes on my forehead. It seems to be triggered by almost everything. If I ever sleep anywhere other than my house I will surely get it. I also get it from swimming, being in nature (mountain biking and hiking). Being in the sun irritates it. Water makes my skin feel constricted.
I have something similar but lupus was ruled out. I know it’s been a long time but did you get a diagnosis ?
Absolutely! Just keep hydrated and don't get too hot although if its only 30 degrees(that's freezing to me lol I'm from fl) I doubt you'll have that problem!
I was just back in to see the doctor for another fleurosine test and it found that my blood vessels have started to bleed out. It has been suggested by the doctor that inflammation of the blood vessels in the eyes would also assume inflammation in the brain. However, the MRI was clear.
I have been put on Cellcept and Prednisone. They are going to wein me off of the Prednisone once I am up to the highest dosage of Cellcept which is 2000mg a day.
I have a 5 year old min pin, with itchy skin, bumps, bald spots. It is on her back, chest and face. I have seen 6 vets (2 clinics but different vets ) tried Antibiotics, prednisone, baths, dips, skin scrapings and blood work and nothing shows up. The prednisone helped but once off of it she went straight back to BAD. She scratches constantly and is bald all over her back, neck, ears and face.
Shortly after I started noticing small blue dots in my vision particularily when I would come out of a dark room into the light room. Few days later i noticed a strong light in the corner of my left eye, the pain when moving my eye was still present. Few days after that i felt pain when i touch my eyeball na dthe light ( phosphene) moved acros my whole vision so I have difficulty reading,.It looks like I have been staring at the sun for a long time and everything seems very bright.
I get TOTALLY flushed and warm in the face when I take oral steroids like prednisone. It's a common side effect.
After taking much medicine(IMMURAN, PLAQUENIL AND PREDNISONE)FOR 5 MONTHS MY RHEUMATOLOGIST AGREED I COULD TAPER OFF PREDNISONE WHICH I DID ON MAY 23,2012. ON JUNE 11,2012 I WENT TO THE DENTIST FOR MY SEMIANNUAL DENTAL CLEANING. THE STORY ENDS WHEN .ON JUNE 25,2012 I STARTED C/O OF JOINT PAIN, FEVER,HAIR LOSS AND FATIGUE. I AM FLARING AND BACK ON PREDNISONE. I AM 67Y/O AND HAVE RA AS WELL. I WAS DIAGNOSED WITH LUPUS 4 YEARS AGO.
That wasnt it. My face and hand was the only thing the sun touch because i had long sleeves on. In the morning my face was swollen veryyyy itchy and clear fluid was on my face. This year same thing I used sun block and that seem to irriate it more immediately I started to itch on face and arms, but not bad. The next day I went out in the sun again and my face begin to swell and so did my arms, back, stomach, and face. My arms look to have maybe second degree burns and face swollen?
You do not say if this swelling and redness occur when you have been outside in the sun. If so, it could be an allergic reaction to the sun. Might want to wear a hat....
If this is happening inside the house on hot days, it could be that you are dehydrated and need to drink more water, gatorade, and stay away from tea and sodas.
Something else that causes red face and swelling is diabetes or gout. Please see a doctor.
Hope this info was helpful. Wishing you the best...
Over the past 4 yrs., I have had a reaction that seems to happen 1X each yr. The reaction occurs when I am traveling. What happens is first I feel my forehead is tight. I notice over time, swelling in my forehead as if there is a fluid. Then over the course of a day or so, the swelling (fluid) drops. I feel it dips down my nose, my eyes are far apart. The swelling takes over the shape of my nose, causing me to not look like myself.

My 11 year old miniature poodle has suddenly become ill and I terrified and unhappy with the answers I have gotten from my vets. Last Sat/Sun, she had two seizures in a 24 hour period -- the first seizures she's ever had. She recovered well from the first one, but a week later has not recovered from the second one. On Monday I took her to the vet, she was a trembling, stumbling, twitching mess. All bloodwork turned up normal.
