Avatar n tn It started in the middle of the upper lip (still remains)and has spread to the lower lip covering mostly near the inner part i.e mouth.but didnot spread on the upper lip. many anti fungul,antiseptics type ointments have been prescribed and one thing was common in prescriptions was to lubricate with petroleum jelly . it did stop the scaly look but after it is wiped off again lips look like as though little blood in them when lubricated and when dried,craky.
Avatar f tn The dermatologist I saw said it was eczema, since I have eczema on other parts of my body. He advised against using lip balms. He prescribed Protopic. I've used it very sparingly since it has a black box warning. I believe it warns against using it on open sores, so it seemed counter-intuitive to use it on the cold-sore-like things. Right now, I'm concerned that since I smoke cigarettes, the crack in my lip could be oral cancer.

Avatar n tn Hello Doctor, I'm 18yrs old, and for the last 8-10yrs or so. My lips have had discolortion. I'm african american, and my lips have turned pink on both the upper and lower lip. I have no clue what to do. I haven't tried anything. I'm just wondering if it can even be fixed. I've included a picture to give you an idea of what I'm speaking about.
Avatar f tn The affected areas should be moisturized on a frequent basis with Vaseline or Lip balms containing help oils like shea butter lip balms. If it is unresponsive to this, then you should consider the use of steroid creams like Desonide, a low potency steroid medication that is approved for use on the lips and face. ref:http://ezinearticles.com/?
Avatar m tn You would think what ever it is it would affect or spread to my upper lip. But i have never had any issues with the upper lip. Any suggestions?
505907 tn?1258369340 Two years ago I got a small red spot on my upper lip. It appeared and felt like the top epidermis was just missing. For instance sunblock would sting on it and the edges of it peel away a little. I went to my GP twice - once she prescribed an antbiotic and once she prescribed an antfungal but nothing worked. It has been growing ever so slowly larger so that now it's an eighth of an inch and you can feel it's gotten deeper too.
Avatar n tn I have a red rash-looking thing on my upper lip. It covers my entire upper lip and looks almost like a red mustache. It doesn't hurt or itch or anything and is not warm to the touch. It has been there for a couple of months. I have tried Hydrocortisone cream 1% and 2%, but that has done nothing. I have noticed it getting a little bit darker. I am female and so I am quite embarrassed by it. My makeup does not cover it up that well.
Avatar m tn m 55 years old and the last five years I have had a brown upper lip. It has a small flaky patch on it. I have been told to get my upper lip waxed. So I did. Helped for a few days and man that hurt. Is there anything I can do to get rid of this? If I put on foundation it looks even worse. Please help.
Avatar f tn I have frequent outbreaks of eczema on my hand, and the insides of my arms. In addition to all this, my upper lip has spots on it, and I have a dark ring around my mouth. I think the spots are from sun damage, as my lips were a very light pink when I was younger. The dark ring around my mouth goes away depending on what I eat. Its very irritating to be itchy and dry all the time, and I need a change. What recommendations do you have for very dry skin and sun damaged lips?
Avatar n tn I've had three adjoining small red circular lesions on the edge of my upper lip for the past month. It started with one, now there are three and it looks like another one is starting. It looks like they are eroding the lip surface.No crusting, they look like little craters on my lips. Searching online I can't find anything that describes what this might be. Help?
Avatar m tn My daily dosage of vitamin C from fresh citrus was very high, and two dry patches on my upper lip (upper left and upper right side) formed which is so dry. I have B-complex supplements too before the dry patches appeared. I will try Tea Tree Oil or other moisturizer as others suggested here and then report back.
Avatar n tn A part of the skin on the side of my upper lip is reddish. Its skin is peeling off for quiet awhile. When its skin is peeled off there is some sort of liquid that's oozing out of the reddish skin. The liquid dries quickly and its also easy to peel. Once its peeled more ooze comes out. The color of the ooze is yellow. The formation of the redness is going upwards like the side of a smile. This happens from time to time.
Avatar n tn producing white, small bumps on the middle of my upper lip and along the upper lip line itself. It also is red on both rides of my upper lip and causes my entire mouth to become very dry and even leads to cracking on both corners of my mouth. Once this flares up, no lip balm will compete with what my lips go through. It also tends to itch inside my nose and along the outside of my nose, by my mouth as well.
Avatar f tn The chance that herpes starts on both lip corners simultaneously and spreads to the upper and lower lip are small. Eczema of the lips is more common when the lips are dry, so fall and winter are more likely seasons. Eczema of the lip area is common in those who have sensitive, dry skin that is prone to allergies or have a history of eczema or asthma. This rash is exacerbated by several things: 1.
Avatar f tn about 2 months ago I noticed a small dry spot on my upper lip that was unusual. It feels like something is covering my lip in that spot, but does not hurt or burn. It's just very annoying and I feel it constantly. It feels like a dried fever blister that is healing, but I have not had a fever blister or cold sore. It started as a dry patch and has remained that way for this long.
Avatar m tn Just a days ago, i began experiencing discomfort on the middle area of the upper lip, to be exact its the pointy part. It used to be soft, but now it somehow feels as if it has thickened and hardened. Since then the middle part has been less sensitive than the other areas. Never experienced this before and neither do i have any health problems. I've experienced dry lips before but none were like this, particularly at the middle area of the upper lips.
Avatar n tn no pain or scabbing or anything) then once that starts getting better, it moves to my lower lip (two times now). Upper lip starts, then eyes, ears, nose, cheeks around nose, and genitals... man, I'm a wreck when this happens. This tie (3rd time, no red bumps on genitals which is nice) I know it's not MCV or either HSVs. So I'm thinking it's just a combo of some weird fungal infection combined with mild exema possibly, and just having ***** skin. HA!
654739 tn?1224333095 I suspect the culprit is an octinoxate based lip gloss that I used. Some of it got on my upper lip and my upper lip felt very stiff after that. It lasted six months before it went away last time (eczema) and this is the second time in my life it's happened and it just started a few days ago. Thanks for the Piriton advice Jen, I will also look up testing to see what I have.
Avatar n tn I have fluid-filled blisters all over my upper lip. They are on the lip it self as well as the edge, covering my whole upper lip. They aren't inside. They aren't cold sores (I've had cold sores and these aren't it). They are not itchy or painful. They didn't go through the cold sore stages. If I pop the blisters, my lips taste sour and the blisters form again.
Avatar m tn I have experienced a mild form of eczema on my lips for some time now. I was treating it with Protopic ointment. It seemed to work for a while, as long as I was using it every day. However my question involves the inner part of my bottom and upper lip. It forms a rough whitish skin that compels me to bite at it or pick at it. Is this rough white skin (that appears to be dead skin by the way) part of the eczema that is affecting the part of my lips on the inside of my mouth?
Avatar f tn If I put anything to soften the area, it becomes red and so on entire upper lip and above it. If I put nothing on it, it become dry, peeling and cracked. Either way I have no idea what is causing it or why. Can anyone please help me?? I have no answers.
Avatar n tn i have history of eczema. it started off as itch and burning sensation on the sides of lips. now the sides of my lips often chapped and lead to open sores. chapstick doesn't work. i tried applying betnovate once and it helps. wonder if it is eczema and if yes, what is the recommended medication.
Avatar f tn You write a lot. I debt read it all. Anyways I don't have eczema it's just on my upper lip is a rash...
