I got a new puppy a week ago. Gave her a bath when i got home..
She slept in my bed acouple times but not recently anyways,
my face on the left side has broken out in huge welts/pimples they look but hurt and have made my whole eyelid SWOLLEN where i have no eyelid it looks just rea puffy and it aches... anyone have this? In the clusters of the welt its like there are tiny bumps and some are bubbles..so i guess its infected
I can't decide if its a rash or just bad bad acne but i never have bad acne... I dont know what to put onit
fOR THE FIrst couple of days where i started noticing it.. i had a pimple i thought it was on my forhead and then my eyelid ached the top one.. i wasnt sure if i scratched the rim of the top eyelid or what and then i woke up and i had huge bumps on eyelid and forhead and eye was bloodshot in corner

Sounds like an allergy to me. When I was a kid.....a LONG time ago. I would get those bumps around my neck and throat area when I held a puppy. I was slightly allergic to dogs but the puppies were the worst. I would NOT let the puppy sleep with you at all and try using benedryl cream on the bumps. A wet washcloth will help also. DO your eyes itch? If the bumps and any other problems get worse, call your Dr. Maybe get a pres. for allergy meds like zertec. My daughter has the swollen eyes from dog hair too. Worst case is you may have to be tested and do allergy shots or find your dear puppy a new home. I am sorry you are having trouble.
We are looking for a dog for my kids and there is a list of breeds that are suppose to be not so bad for people with allergy to pet dander. Also you might try having someone else bathe the dog and I think there is shampoo for the dog to help control it a little. What kind of pup do you have? Good luck to you!!!

I have allergies, and I also do dog rescue work. I find that although my allergy tests have not indicated I'm allergic to dogs, I also will get the bumps. It usually happens if the dog is dirty or has dust stuck in their fur. Perhaps another bath with the suggested allergy-preventing dog shampoo may help. Also, make sure that the puppy does not have fleas. It's very common for people and dogs both to be allergic to fleas. If you do find that the dog has fleas, your best bet is to buy one of the topical once-a-month flea and tick prevention meds, which come in a box of three and are about $30. FrontLine works wonderfully. I hope this helps.

Also, when you mention the bubbles, this puzzles me. Usually allergies will cause the welts, hives and swelling, but I've never heard of bubbles. Are they very itchy?

I had bumps a different place on my leg and it was cause by moth which you say in French acariens... The bumps look like they have water in it...And when you scratch it and put alcohol on it it dry but you get more some where else...You get this in bed, etc...I have a dog and I am not allergic to it...So I pass allergies test that prove it... I got shots treatment for two years against moth and now I am ok... Good luck
