    Default face is hot and red

    starting yesterday and all day today (and it's getting progressively worse)

    my face started to feel hot, and it's getting really red. Right now my entire face is bright pink and blotchy and very hot. Just my face and ears. And it's not a rash, doesn't itch...it's as if all my blood is going to my face.

    I have NO idea what is going on!!!

    I wonder if it could be a possible adverse reaction to the antibiotics I'm on? I've been on them for a week and I can't really think of anything else that could cause it. It's the only change in my diet or lifestyle.
    **edited to add** the antibiotics are for a nasty case of tonsilitis i've had due to not getting strep throaght treated for a month (before i get flamed...I didn't know that's what it was, just thought i had a cold...I'm aware it's dangerous to let strep go)

    I'm starting to get worried...anyone got a clue?

    It could be the antibiotics, I have a friend whose face, arms, back and shoulders turn a bright red on most antibiotics out there. The skin swells up too but it doesn't itch too bad, just looks ugly. I'd call the doctor to be sure.

    ummmmm....

    now I have a wierd spotty rash on both of my legs.

    My mother (a former nurse) suspects Scarlet Fever...which would make sense since it's caused by the same strep that got me diagnosed with tonsilitis.

    Uhh...freaked out. Pretty sure I'll be seeing a doctor today.

    Argh!
