Allergic Reaction?

So, the past couple of days I have been waking up with my cheeks blotchy and red.  They also have a burning itchy feeling.  I can't help but think, I have developed an allergy to something.  I haven't changed my eating habits, or  laundry detergent so I'm still trying to figure out what it is from.  My mom thinks it may be from the sun, it tends to get much worse after exposer to the sun.  The funny thing is the only time I am exposed to the sun for long periods of time is while driving.  And, I have never had any issues before.  Any ideas of what it could be?  Also, has anyone else developed allergies while pregnant?

    Your skin is way more sensitive during pregnancy, even for short periods of time. Maybe try taking Benadryl before bed and see if its better the next day?

    You can develop an allergy to anything, at any time, unfortunately. :( I had no issues with nickel until I was about 14 and then developed a horrid allergy to it. Laundry detergent allergy started at about 16. Not saying it's an allergy, but it's not off the table just because you haven't changed any of your habits.

    And ditto to PPs, skin can be more sensitive during pregnancy. Hope you can see a dermatologist and get to the bottom of it!.

    I became allergic to eggs which has been really hard, we eat tons of them in this house, and I have to watch everyone else eat them. I figured out they they were giving me terrible headaches.
