A member asked:

Can kissing cause angioedema?

Dr. Michael Zacharisen answered

Specializes in Allergy and Immunology

Possibly: Some rare forms of angioedema can be induced by "trauma" so be gentle. Some forms of angioedema are idiopathic and the trigger is not known. Frequently angioedema is associated with hives and may be from an allergic trigger.
