What Causes Swelling And Redness On Different Parts Of Body?

I am having flare ups of swelling and redness appear on different parts of my body. It started on my nose, redness and swelling. Then it appeared on the back of my hand. It has now come on the inside of my arm on one on the bottom of my leg. Swelling goes down in one area and appears in another!

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of swelling and redness on different parts of body which seems to be due to allergic reaction and due to compromised immunity of body. It seems you have increased susceptibility of getting infected. Need not to worry. You should visit dermatologist once and get it examined and start treatment after thorough examination. You should get skin patch test and blood test done. Apply cold compresses on skin. Drink plenty of fluids. Take proper course of antibiotics such as Amoxicillin along with antihistamine medications. You should avoid excessive exposure to sunlight and avoid wearing tight clothes. Avoid touching or pricking with any sharp object. You should take plenty of fluids.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
