Hey there

I've got a bit of a situation going on (just posting this here to get some thoughts before my doctor appointment this Monday). Honestly, I'm so stressed out I don't know what else to do besides throw this question out there. 😢

Cosmetic-wise, I pretty much just stick to Johnson & Johnson cream and Manhattan foundation (which I've used for years). So, nothing new there.

My diet hasn't changed at all over the last few years.

I did stop taking birth control about two months ago.
Then, three weeks back, I started taking Daily Formula from Nature's Bounty (those vitamin tablets).

Usually, my skin is perfect... but now... I've got this redness on my cheeks, stinging, bumps, a burning sensation, and these weirdly colored spots that started small but have grown into these red patches about 2cm wide. My skin on my cheeks feels all shiny and tight, like it's being pulled.
It’s been really intense for the last two days, but looking back, my complexion has basically gone to hell over the last two weeks.
The weird thing is, it's only on my cheeks; my nose, chin, and forehead look totally fine.

I tried Googling if Daily Formula has any side effects—it says it doesn't... plus a friend of mine takes them and she's fine.
So, I'm asking you guys, based on the photo, what do you think this could be?

Sorry if this is a stupid topic or whatever... I'm just freaking out big time, so I figured I'd ask here.

Here's a link to a photo so you can see what my skin looks like right now 😢😢

I suddenly started breaking out in all sorts of strange rashes... though mostly along my back 😲

It turns out I was actually dealing with an allergy to fresh walnuts 🤦

Just because certain products worked for you in the past doesn't mean they’ll stay compatible forever...

A close friend of mine didn't realize she was allergic to strawberries, peaches, cherries, plums, and so on until she hit 23,

I mean, it was just... totally out of nowhere 😢😢

Yesterday I whipped up some chamomile tea and dabbed a bit on my face, which helped calm things down slightly.
But today? My skin feels like a total desert—just super dry and bumpy.
Ugh, seriously...

Yeah, I'll probably have to head to the doctor to figure out what's actually going on, whether it's an allergy to something I ate or whatever.

First things first, you really ought to take a break from all those dietary supplements!
It is entirely possible that you might be dealing with an allergy to one of the specific ingredients they contain.
