Angioedema

Angioedema often involves the deeper tissues of the skin. A painful and burning sensation of the skin is present.

It is the rapid swelling (oedema) of the skin, mucosa and submucosal tissues which results in enlarged lips, swollen eyes and distorted face. If the condition becomes severe, a crisis can occur. The swelling can also affect the respiratory passage. In cases where angioedema progresses rapidly, affecting the glottis (opening upper end of the windpipe) it has to be treated – as a medical emergency. An epinephrine injection (EpiPen) can be lifesaving if angioedema is allergic in nature.
