I'm sorry to see how this has turned out! I hope you find support within the community and keep us updated on your progress.

I am wondering if you are allergic to the nubming cream. I have had that reaction and looked very much like you in your picture. I am not allergic to lidocaine but whatever they bind it together with give me the reaction you have. I had to take steroids to get rid of the reaction. Benadryl did not work for me. But, steroids solved it. I have used the EMLA numbing cream 2x and this is a very rare reaction - but this is what it does when I use it.
Hope you resolved your problem after you saw your doctor.
