Randomly Swells Lips,no Pain,what Is The Problem?

My lip randomly swells, no pain, just a tingly feeling, what is wrong with me? For the past 2 weeks my lip randomly swells up. It does not always swell in the same area, sometimes my upper right lip, other times my lower left, ect. I do not believe it is an allergy because the swelling is not consistent with any particular activity. What I mean by that is, my lip sometimes swells during work, or when I am sleeping, or even in the middle of class. Benadryl has no effect. The swelling varies in duration, from an hour to a whole day. I feel no pain, just a tingly feeling when the lip is starting to swell. I can also tell when the swelling is going to start. I am a 19 year old male, healthy, no history of allergy. I also only have one sexual partner that i have been with for over 2 years, so I am ruling out an STD.

Hi,

This seems to be due to allergic problem (even though you feel it is not because of allergy). Try taking Vitamins and Antihistaminics (such as Cetrizine/levocetrizine), drink plenty of water. Any more doubts you are welcome.
