General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello,

I read your message and understood your medical issue.

Please, can you give me more details about your general health? Any kidney, liver, thyroid or heart disease? Drugs you may take? Any poor nutrition?

Can you send to me photos of your tough lumps and fluid pockets of your skin, please?

Note if you have had any previous allergy or if you have been exposed to something unusual recently that you maybe are allergic but do not know that.

Allergy test needs to be done if there is a case of any angioedema.
Angioedema is edema of eyelids, lips, hands and feet same time. It is caused by an allergy reaction due to food, drugs or any other trigger. It is itchy and uncomfortable but it fades away within 72 hours.

Most episodes of angioedema clear within days but is better to see a doctor and take appropriate medication (adrenaline, antihistamines and maybe steroids).

See a doctor to discover the cause of allergy and further actions.

Hope this is helpful.
