Although low probability yesterday, these guys can be an issue there

Long shot here but is it just one side and a limited area? Any pain, tingle? Any blisters? If so the possibility of singles comes to mind.

Reaction from rubber on the mask.

Go to the pub and get some antidote

Without knowing your profiles, your Surface Intervals, your Gradient Factors, and your ascent rates, it is hard to say but offhand those appear to be pretty aggressive dives. I agree with the others, DCS seems unlikely but NOT impossible. Calling DAN is always a good idea.

How are those aggressive dives, if minimum surface interval was an hour?

My thoughts exactly. IMO, those aren't particualarly agressive even if done on air.
Planed with Subsurface on GF 50/80, all on air. Not particularly agressive, even with square profile, which probably didn't happen anyway.

When I made my comment, we did not know his SIs.

Interesting. No tables would allow either of the first two dives on air.

I did a 3 tanks dives yesterday. 1st 30% EAN 88ft 36mins. 2nd 30% EAN 78ft 42mins. 3rd 21% Air 46ft 57mins. All 3 mins safety stop completed with Terric computer. I felt completely normal just tired after a long day and rocky boat. Had a really good sleep.

Woke up this morning to see a couple of red rash swell areas on the left forehead. They are not itchy or uncomfortable. I can feel the swell raised up touching them. No rash or discolor on my body. Could it be due to scuba dive? Should I be concerned with skin bend and need to seek any media assistance? Thanks

Although DCS can't be completely ruled out, I think it would be pretty low on the differential given the delayed, localized presentation and the robust blood flow in that area.

Best regards,
DDM

Done as per OP's data. Again, not what I would call agressive.
