Is Angioedema An Allergic Reaction?
Hey, My friend has been diagnosed with angieodeama and has had a tattoo for over year. But tonight there seems to be itchy lumps appearing round the lettering of the tattoo. Just wondering if this is an allergic reaction or should i have to do anything bout it tonight??

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
It is an allergic reaction. An oral antihistamine should help to reduce the symptoms.
These can be obtained over the counter. Examples are: benadryl, claritine, zyrtec, allegra.
A mild topical steroid such as hydrocortisone should also help.
I hope this helps
