Question 1

why is arm with dialysis port swelling?

Accepted Answer

See your doctor: There are many reasons for this to happen. You really need to have your doctor check this out right away.

Question 2

would crushed prednisone power applied topically to acne help reduce swelling?

Accepted Answer

No: I have heard of this as a remedy if done with Aspirin (do not know if effective), but Prednisone is administered for acne as an injection.

Question 3

would it be unhealthy to have swelling by the area of a shot?

Accepted Answer

Can happen: It is not uncommon to have localized reactions to a vaccine.

Question 4

is swelling in the appendix area bad?

Accepted Answer

I assume: You mean swelling the right lower abdomen. Often this could be a symptom of bowel gas or constipation. If there is pain, tenderness, nausea, vomiting, fever, loss of appetite, etc. Then appendicitis can cause those symptoms. However, if it just feels a little puffy in the right lower abdomen it likely isn't appendicitis. See a doctor if you remain concerned.

Question 5

swelling in the pubic area, what's wrong?

Accepted Answer

Too Vague: The 'pubic area' could encompass any number of areas.  The reasons for swelling in any of these areas would be different depending on exactly where that swelling is, when it started, pain, anything make it worse, anything make it better? All of these are necessary to help from a doctors point of view.

Question 6

Question 7

what is it when you have a swelling in the pelvic area..

Accepted Answer

Pelvic swelling: Without more description one might expect either a hernia or swollen lymph nodes.

Question 8

what could be swelling in the pubic area?

Accepted Answer

Few possibilities: Depends, fat tissue, bladder distension etc, have it checked by your doctor. Does it hurt, is it increasing and decreasing at times or remains the same?

Question 9
