Some causes of the symptoms you mention, could be lip biting, lip licking, Vit.B2 deficiency, smoking, overexposure to sun and ill fitting dentures. In extreme cases, this could be due to bacterial or fungal skin infection.
You need to drink plenty of water daily – around 1.5 – 3 litres per day and eat a balanced diet. Do not keep your lips dry; apply lip balm which contains sunscreen – preferably a medicated one.
Thank you for your quick response. I'd rule out vitamin B deficiency since I have a balanced diet and take a daily multivitamin. I'm not sure about atopic dermatitis. After researching that online, it appears that it affects external skin. Can it cause a rash inside my mouth (i.e. behing my lower lip)?
I have been beginning to think that this rash may be related to kissing my ex-girlfriend.
Hello,
These sort of symptoms can be due to cheilitis, vitamin B deficiency, candida infection if there is a white coating on the lips and cold sores. Pain, burning, tingling, or itching occurs at the infection site before the sores appear. Then clusters of blisters erupt which break down.
Yes, small tiny lumps on the inner side of lips can be blocked salivary glands or chancre sores or can be due to Vitamin B deficiency. It is difficult to comment without examining. Take a multivitamin pill and apply glycerine locally and see if there is any improvement. If symptoms persist consult your PCP.
Hope this helps. Please let me know if there is any thing else and do keep me posted. Take care!
Hi
The white blisters in your case could be canker sores that appear for no particular reason. They can be due to Vitamin B12 deficiency, mechanical irritation, a virus or due to a decrease in temporary decrease in body immunity. They could also be moth sores caused by hot and spicy food.
Most sores of either variety will disappear in 10-14 days. Some may persist.
Dry and cracked lips plus sores on mouth may also indicate a vitamin deficiency and along with other symptoms could indicate stomatitis. They say when you have problems with your stomach you will have problems with your mouth as well. A doctors visit would definitely help you pin-point what it is and a doctor could inform you more specifically when the cold sores are most contagious and what precautions must be taken to keep from passing to others.
Hello,
Peeling chapped skin around lips can be due to cheilitis, eczema, fungal infections or cold sores. It can be due to vit B deficiency also. Take some vitamin B complex for some days and see if your symptoms improve.
If the symptoms persist then please get it evaluated from a dermatologist as diagnosis has to be confirmed first.
It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided.
It just looks like a small bump with a tiny sore on it (from me making it accidentally bleed from rubbing too hard) they only thing is when it heals it looks like the color of my lip just a little lighter and more pale than my lip. But some extra background is. I have been battling a horrible iron/vitamin deficiency and my period this month is either going to be late or missed. Which I have never had an issue with before. I think it could be due to the iron/vitamin thing.
Allergy, contact dermatitis, food poisoning, Sjogren’s syndrome, mucositis, Vitamin C deficiency, Vitamin B deficiency and poor oral hygiene are the various causes of mucosal and lip swelling. Please consult a doctor to rule out these causes one by one. Take care!
Hi guys. I've always had a few white spots on the side on my lips (maybe years). But recently (Last few days) it seems to be spreading. it's more obvious and towards the inside of my upper lip. it's like really tiny spots and in clusters. Along with it I've been experiencing dry mouth. Last time I had protected sex and no oral sex but plenty of kissing was on 26th March. Last time i received unprotected oral sex was in February.
