What Causes Swelling Of Lips?

Hi. I m getting a bit concerned. I just moved into my parent s home 3 weeks ago. Over the last 3 weeks, I ve had random occurance of my lip swelling. The first time it was the left side of my upper lip, the second time it was the left side of my lower lip, the 3rd time time it was my whole upper lip and today it s my chin. I don t think it s food allergy related cuz it just happens randomly even when I don t eat any food. I want to get it checked out while I m here in Canada. I believe my insurance will cover this, but I want to extremely cost effective about my visits with the dr. Can you recommend what kind of doctor I should try to see and what kind of tests they should be conducting? Thank you.

Dermatologist 's  Response
You should visit dermatologist or general physician ,because in my opinion you have allergy to something in this new place or u may have angioedema .
For this your doctor will take detailed history and few blood examination and he can go for allergy test.
