Angioedema: This condition is characterized by rapid swelling. It can occur in the dermis, subcutaneous tissue, or mucosa. Rapid onset of Angioedema (rapid swelling) should be treated as a medical emergency due to the possibility for airway obstruction and/or suffocation as a result of swelling. If swelling occurs a doctor should be consulted immediately.
