Hello Doctor,
My arms, legs, feet, and hands are really puffy, and I'm itching them so much that they're bleeding. I don’t know what’s causing it, but the swelling and itching won’t stop. Should I go to the ER, or is this something I can treat at home?
Hello,
Thank you for reaching out to Dr. Galen. Please find the below response to your query.
Based on your symptoms of significant swelling in multiple areas and severe itching leading to bleeding, there is concern for a possible severe allergic reaction, angioedema, or another underlying condition that requires urgent evaluation. Given the extent of your symptoms, especially if you experience any additional signs such as difficulty breathing, dizziness, or swelling of the face or throat, seeking immediate medical attention at the nearest emergency room is highly recommended. Prompt evaluation will help determine the cause and appropriate treatment to prevent further complications.
Thanks
