Accepted Answer

Not to worry: This sounds like what are called cherry hemangiomas.  These are little gifts that you get from one or both of your parents.  They are simply made up of hundreds of small blood vessels.  These growths never turn bad.  You will continue to get more as you get older.  They are very easily treated with a laser without leaving any marks.

Accepted Answer

Hives: It sounds as if you are having a dermatologic condition called urticaria.  Urticaria is the medical terminology for hives.  It is the bodies response to a certain stimulus, such as an allergy.  The body will release histamine in response to a stimulus and histamine causes redness, swelling and itching.  Other triggers of urticaria can be cold/heat, stress, medicines, or with you, pressure on skin!

Uvula edema: Hello, the swelling of the uvula will take some time for resolution. The uvula lies in a dependent position. The timing will also depend on the degree of swelling.
