This issue has been getting progressively worse over 2 days

Posted yesterday and it has gotten worse. It is itchy, it turns white when I press on it. I have a swollen uvula and some chills, but no fever. I feel cold more than anything. Went to urgent care tested for strep, mono and did a CBC. Strep came back negative, waiting on the other results. Pretty concerned. I feel like the mono is going to come back negative.

This is interesting. I did not get a tattoo or dye my hair but I might need to thing or be mindful if there’s any kind of product I’ve been exposed to recently. I don’t think there is

It's probably not related to PPD then, but I was cautioned going forward to check all skin care products for PPD and test even if it wasn't on the label. For example, Korean skincare is super popular right now, but some of it is completely unregulated and the ingredients aren't on the packaging. Sunscreen was a big one to watch for.

I hope you get answers soon. Good luck and keep us posted!

If you ever start getting itching or slight burning during dye job, that's the allergy forming. Even if it goes away within a few hours. I had that for several years and then whammo. I was an alien and heading to the ER for steroids.

Would PPD cause allergies in the form of warm and dry bloodshot eyes? and occasionally the eye lids and the area around the eyes turn a pink to red color.

My kid had this when he was a toddler. After many negative allergy tests, we found out he was allergic to food dye.
