As a result, it causes various reactions such as hiding, coughing and in this case swelling under the skin to hide certain chemicals within the body than the substance. Common allergens include foods such as nuts, eggs, and milk. In addition, insect stings, latex (in condoms) and certain types of drugs such as antibiotics and NSAIDs (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) are used in this condition.
