What Can Cause Swollen Upper Lip And Foreskin Of Penis With Slight Itching?

Two months back I had the upper lip swollen with apparently no cause; there was slite itching before the swelling started; there was no pain; the swelling lasted for a day. After a few days, there was a similar case of swelling which also lasted for a day; then about a month later, the lower lip got swollen; and then the foreskin of the penis got swollen, which also lasted for a day; now I have the right cheek swollen. I am 76 years old, and my health is quite o.k. I have no blood-suger problem, or blood-pressure problem

Hello,

Swelling with itching might be due to some allergy you are having. However, it could also be due to infection as well.

I suggest you visit your doctor to check you for allergies and meanwhile you can take anti-allergic medication for symptomatic relief.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
