RASH reaction to DEEP MASSAGE????

[Guest guest]

hi everyone,

 

i had a VERY DEEP TISSUE massage last friday and afterward i felt

nauseous and then a couple hours later i began developing a papular

rash on the front of my neck. over the next couple of days the rash

spread to cover my entire neck, ears, and face with a lot of swelling

and redness around my eyes, ears, nose.

 

i have had massages before, but never quite this vigorous and deep and

painful. my bacck muscles felt bruised the next day which has neever

happened before. i've had tightness, but never bruised feeling.

 

is it possible that the massage caused my rash?

 

i read somewhere that pressure massage causes histamine release, but

could not confirm that with other sources.

 

PLEASE answer me if you know anything about this! i want to know if

this is a credible theory at all. just to mention, the 2 nights

preceeding the massage and the night of hte massage when i got home, i

had a glass of california red wine, and i never drink red wine, but

the dermatologist didn't think that that could be responsible. i

thought maybe the combo of the massage AND the red wine ???

 

thanks for your time, please help!
