What Is The Cause And Treatment For Allergic Rashes On Forehead And Cheeks?

My husband has hives all over his forehead, his cheeks are very flushed, he is itching , and the skin below both eyes is quite puffy. Cortisone cream and 50 mg of Benadryl are not helping. No new detergents or clothes. He had flu about two weeks ago and this outbreak started at the end of the flu symptoms. he is not having trouble breathing. He has no known allergies. He is on Losartin for BP and has been on it for 2 years. Any ideas. Thanks so much.

For allergic skin rash on forehead and cheeks you have to take some antibiotic like cap ampoxin 500 mg three times daily or tab droxyl 500 mg twice daily after meals with tab avil three times daily or tab cetrizine twice daily after meals for itching with tab rantac or tab famotid twice daily empty stomach. Continue cortisone cream or you can go for clop-g or betnovate cream for local application. For flu like symptoms you have to take tab akilos-p or tab nimeson-p twice daily after meals.
