Upset skin - what could it be??

[Sibbie]

Hi All

I am wondering if anyone has had anything similar to this and could perhaps give me some insight on what is up with my skin...

mmmk. Thursday night my skin was feeling a little funny around my ears - friday morning my cheeks/sides of face was covered in tiny lumps (I mean tiny-tiny-little-itsy-bitty lumps) and was itchy. I took antihistamines and made sure I haven't been wearing makeup etc as i thought it was just a reaction to something, but its still here today and hasn't gone down, still itchy, lumpy and dry! I have dont nothing new - no new makeup/soap/shampoo/creams/washing powder ANYTHING, but - we did move house last weekend.

I just can't figure out what's wrong! I don't usually have problems like this so i have no idea.... and i thought that if it was something in/around the new house it would be all over my body, not just on my face. Could it be the house or maybe eczma, stress or allergies or something? Does anyone know something that would calm it?

enlighten me please!

It could be the new house (some houses have some hidden nasties in the walls, like mould) or it could be unrelated to the move.

Where are you at in your cycle hun? It could be hormonal too.

ahhhh I had AF not last week but the week before... and It's been a crazy month cycle-wise so that could be it I guess.

I'm not too sure if it would be mould... it's a newly renovated place so maybe the paint or something??

I guess I'll just wait and see if it gets worse/better and go from there..

Hows your skin Soph? Has it gotten better?

Its still a little lumpy, but its not itchy any more! I have a feeling it may have just been stress related... i still think its weird tho cos i've never had anything like it!

I was actually going to suggest stress hun!
