Lip Swelling, Rashes Around Waist, Back And Elbow. Non Smoker. What Is Suggested?
Hi, my name is Cindy and about a month ago I started having problems with my bottom right lip swelling and then just the right side of my cheek. A couple of weeks later I started breaking out in a rash around my waist that now has spread to my upper back and in the bends of my elbow. Im not sure if one has anything to do with the other. Im a non smoker and I don't drink or do drugs.

Hi,
You might be suffering from urticaria or hives. There can be mutiple causes of the same but some time we are not able to find the exact cause of the urticaria.The only precaution you must follow is not to touch, pinch pop or squeeze any of them other wise it can get infected and can cause complications. You can apply hydrocortisone cream over the affected areas. You can take antihistamine benadryl by mouth.
