I keep getting this awful rash around my mouth. This is the second or third time I've gotten it this year. It's worse this time, too. It's this blistery, oozy rash that covers my lips, my tongue, the roof of my mouth, and my face around my mouth. It has also spread to cover my chin and it appears to be spreading to my nose now. And now my right eyelid is so badly swollen that it's interfering with my vision. I'm not touching my eyes or wearing my contacts, but I've got this big fat puffy eyelid that looks awful. My mouth is cracked, blistered, swollen, and itching - I have blotchy-colored huge Julia Roberts lips.
I'm smearing Carmex all over it all the time but it's still very uncomfortable. I especially hate it all over my tongue and the roof of my mouth - it's uncomfortable to eat and it just feels nasty. I'm getting a sore throat too, probably from the ooze.
And now I'm worried about what might be in my eye. My eyelid was tender this morning, but it wasn't swollen until a couple hours ago. It's swelling quickly, too. I'm hoping it's just a stye.
I'm going to the clinic for STD screening in a couple of days. Maybe I'll see if they can see me sooner and tell me what this rash is all about, too. It really sucks.

'cause that would be cellulitis/staph of the face.
