What Causes Redness And Swelling Around The Elbow Region?
I have a swelling on my elbow that is red, itching, and warm to the touch. There is no obvious bite or sting mark. I have tried Benadryl cream with only some itch relief. The spot has swelled overnight to about a 2 inch circle. There is no pain in the joint. Should I continue with the Benadryl or go to an Urgent Care clinic?

What Causes Redness And Swelling Around The Elbow Region?
HI, thanks for using healthcare magic You should consider trying oral medication along with the topical agent to see if this helps eg oral benadryl, claritine, zyrtec, allegra The oral agent plus the topical should help to improve your symptoms. If there is no improvement with the combination then you should be reviewed by a doctor. I hope this helps
