Hi,
The cause of this allergy-like condition seems to be directly connected to hormonal changes. You should ask the gynecologist to talk directly to the treating dermatologist or GP as this situation is clearly a cross-speciality condition. The local dermatologist should, as long as the reason is not clear, provide an allergy emergency set. Because once the tongue is itching it can start to swell one day. That would be an emergency. So please challenge the colleagues involved and insist on a medical coordination across disciplines.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
