I had one from pain meds. It can show up even after you stop taking them since they are still in your system. I was told I could take benedryl but I would call your Dr ASAP to be safe. It could be from something else. Hope it goes away soon.

When I asked my DR about my itchy bumps and mini rashes he said it could be from a few different sources. I had hives from the steri strips. It could of been a reaction to certain meds crystalizing in the blood stream. Or it could have been an intolerance to a food. I would definately check with your DR, just to make sure! Hope it gets better, especially being on your face! :(

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
