Angioedema

Angioedema, also called giant urticaria, is a type of localized edema that occurs in subcutaneous loose tissue or mucous membranes. Angioedema, like urticaria, is an acute allergic reaction of the glans to food, drugs or insect bites. The disease can occur only in the glans, or it can occur simultaneously with urticaria. Children are susceptible to glans edema, which manifests as foreskin edema and glows on the glans, like large blisters. It does not affect urination. It usually occurs at night, and the itchiness is not obvious. It can subside on its own after a few days. The diagnosis of glans foreskin angioedema is simple and the treatment is relatively easy. It should be kept clean and dry. If necessary, the lesion can be wiped gently with 1: 1000. Those with systemic urticaria can be treated orally with chlorpheniramine and diphenhydramine, which should be prescribed by your doctor.
