A member asked:
Hi, i seem to have malar edema. i am not sure if it is allergy based or poor sleep. is there anything non-surgical like massage that will "cure" it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not insomnia: This is not from lack of sleep but if this is a recurrent problem, you should consult an allergist especially if you have choking or recurrent abdominal cramps to rule out a hereditary form of angioedema. Massage is not expected to reduce it.
