What Causes Severe Painful Swelling In The Body And Puffiness In The Face?

I have been having severe swelling in my legs, feet, abdomen, and just above my penis. I have also been swelling in general all over including a puffy face and I seem to have a lot of pain and tingling when this happens which is mostly in the evenings but can also be early in the day,

first rule out an allergy. the swelling, puffiness, and tingling could be from an ALLERGIC reaction to anything from laundry detergent to medication (if you're taking more than 1 medication, even OTC drugs, consider negative INTERACTIONS as well).

the edema in the legs, feet, and lower belly could be the result of a SERIOUS problem. the swelling, or "edema," is caused by an excess of fluid that accumulates in bodily tissues and cavities. problems with the KIDNEYS, the HEART and CIRCULATORY SYSTEM, and the LIVER can cause edema of the legs, feet, lower abdomen, and face.

seek medical attention.
