Question

I've been dealing with some swelling on my face for the last 23 years, and it's really changed how I look. I'm not really sure why this is happening. What kind of doctor should I see for something like this, and what could be causing it?

Facial swelling can be caused by various reasons such as allergies, infections, hormonal imbalances, or underlying medical conditions. To determine the exact cause and receive appropriate treatment, you should consult a Dermatologist. They specialize in diagnosing and treating skin conditions, including facial swelling. In the meantime, you can take an over-the-counter antihistamine like Cetirizine (10mg) to help reduce swelling caused by allergies.

I recently saw a doctor for a skin infection and was told it's a fungal infection. They prescribed me Candiforce 200. When I looked it up online, it seems to be more for mouth, throat, and lung issues. I'm a bit confused and worriedwill it actually help with my skin infection? I'm thinking of seeing a dermatologist soon but would love some clarity before that.
