Hi;
For excluding allergy, stop taking Herballife for a few days. If the hypersenstivity persists, you must review your lifestyle and diet for other possible reasons. Some fruits, polens, mites, intestinal parasites, drugs or other inflammatory conditions may cause sensitivity. If you cannot spesifically find a solution to your problem after these steps, you must visit a dermatologist for further evaluation.
May you recover soon.
