Symptoms of Hereditary Angioedema

Swelling is the common theme in all HAE episodes. But different parts of your body may be affected. Your signs and symptoms might depend on the type of attack you have.

Subcutaneous Attacks

These attacks affect areas of the skin, usually on the face, hands, feet, or genitals. Your skin will swell and may turn red, but it usually doesn’t itch. Sometimes a skin attack causes temporary disfigurement. The swelling can make it hard to perform simple activities like walking or holding a pen. Subcutaneous attacks are often mistaken for allergic reactions.
