Suggest Treatment For Itchy Red Bumps On Lower Right Side Of Mouth

I have a rash of red bumps that are itchy on the right side of mouth and just below my chin. It started about 3 weeks ago and was much smaller, about 1 inch long and 1/2 wide. It has spread further out towards my cheek and chin. No new medications or soaps. I have tried topical alcohol, peroxide, witch hazel, Purpose facial soap, neosporin and antifungal cream and have not worn any make up. What is this rash and what do I need to do to make it go away?

The allergic reaction occur due to some food or medication. It could be due to recurrent aphthous stomatitis caused by viral infection. It could be due to poor immunity of body. I would suggest you to :-

- Drink plenty of fluids.

- To give cold compresses to affected area 2-3 times a day .

- Take over the counter anti allergic drug like benadryl or zyrtec.

- Avoid taking food like nuts or sea foods .

Consult dermatologist for proper examination for find out exact cause . Doctor may order allergy specific test to find out what exactly causing allergy. Also consult dentist for examination. Dentist may prescribe antibiotics and start treatment as per diagnosis.
