Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thank you for posting on HCM.
From your description its difficult to point specific diagnosis as many conditions can have this kind of clinical description.
I would like to put forward differential diagnosis of angioedema, insect bite and Herpes labialis.
Thus for better understanding and management, i would insist you to post some good clinical pictures with detailed history including symptoms you have along with swelling.
Hope you will revert soon.
Thanks
Dr Hardik Pitroda
