I received an email from one of my regular clients, who is at her house in France. She has had a major reaction and asking for my advice. Any idea's what has happened. Luckily, nothing to do with me!
Here is her email.
'Even the English Channel does not prevent you from taking a rest from your clients.
I need to take your advice. I have got a full blown allergy which has caused my entire face (apart from my nose) to break out into an exceptionally dry, itchy skin, some swelling and all over my face redness which is also very hot. It seemed to be building since last Friday - three days after we had arrived here. Never ever had anything like it before. I have been to the chemist's here - they are excellent. Together we have concluded that it is an allergic reaction to something . It has not spread - but it covers my eyelids. we have not been exposed to the sun - I wear a big hat and light scarf. And it is not the result of food poisoning. The only change in medication that I have taken is several days of Clarityn - and have stopped this as it was the only "cause" we could find.
The pharmacy has given me a creme hydratante ( Avene product) which I apply liberally all day. So far, no change.
Any suggestions to help clear whatever it is?
If any Geeks have come across anything similar, I would appreciate your feedback.
