Avatar m tn I had raw flaky skin on my upper lip whilst on Oral Isotretinoin therapy. I healed it with Elizabeth Arden 8 hour cream which is a bit expensive, but a tube lasts a long time.
Avatar f tn For those of you who used vit E or something else, how did you coordinate it with spf application? Also, anyone try the Mederma with 30 spf? I looked at it today but whoa! $19 at Walmart. I keep reading that people have been very sensitive to Mederma so I'm not going to even try it for a few months anyway. Thanks!
Avatar m tn If scaling is present, a microscopic examination of the scales may help rule out a fungal infection. Use a lip balm with an SPF of at least 15. Applying lip moisturizer will also help smoothen the lips. The SPF will help prevent further pigmentation or darkening of the lips.
Avatar n tn s lip balm with SPF 15 to help protect your lips from direct heat and UV. Other lip balm or lip moisturizers with SPF may also help. There is no definite treatment for dark lips although micropigmentation which is used to apply permanent colors on the lips, eyes and eye brows may be used to bring color to the lips. This is more extensive and entails more risks but may give more dramatic and long lasting results.

168348 tn?1379357075 for my scar bcz I always am throwing 30SPF moisturizer lip balm over the thyroidectomy scar .. (keep it in my pocket) so why not do it with Maderma Cream + SPF and see if it helps with the scar ? I'm 1.5yrs post op so I think it'll feel ok to use it .. earlier on it used to burn .. but was too soon after surgery to use the cream I do believe.
Avatar n tn I have been watching my lip eczema problem that showed up recently and mine is related to using a new lip balm that was SPF-rated (I usually avoid SPF balms- this balm was supposed to be a natural anti-viral to help prevent cold sores) - It appears that my lips react to either benzophenone-3 or to Octyl-Methoxcinnamate.
732948 tn?1245894551 If you have been struggling to come to grips with Erythema Multiforme, please try using a high SPF lip balm several times per day. Give it a shot and see what happens. Good luck in your quest for getting your life back from this horrible condition.
Avatar f tn Ouch. That is awful. Have you tried tea bags on your eyes? That can help swelling, as well. Cucumber slices, too - chill first for an even better feel. I hate sunscreen, too - it's so greasy and makes me break out. But I'm so pasty white that I have to wear it. I had good luck last year with some of the spray on ones. They didn't feel greasy at all and provided good coverage. I have to get some super SPF cream this year, though, for the good ol' TT scar.
Avatar f tn I used 55 Neutrogena Broad Spectrum the entire year on two incisional scars that I had last year and both are fine this year .... I carried around a lip balm SPF 30 in my pocket and kept reapplying it to the scar just to be safe. Have a wonderful trip!!!!!
Avatar f tn I am only 25 and have noticed dark spots above my upper lip, that almost looks like a mustache (I wax so it is not hair). I know that it is probably a result from the sun. I already wear high spf daily and in my make-up and hats when possible. I have a medium skin tone. I was wondering if there is some kind of treatment to make the darkness fade? Thank you for your help!
Avatar n tn Using a sunscreen with SPF more than 15 might help along with minimizing sun exposure by using glasses and hats. Keep us posted.
Avatar m tn I am noticing darkened skin on my upper lip. I assume this is from sun exposure. How can I treat this? It almost looks like a moustache, but it is not dark hair, it is my skin.
Avatar f tn I've been getting a small cluster of tiny bumps on my bottom lip for a few years now. They usually come every other month, a few days before my period. They usually end once my period actually starts. The bumps don't hurt, or itch, but I can feel them when I rub my lips together or rub my teeth over them. I have continued using chap-stick while I have the bumps, because the bumps have never spread.
Avatar f tn well if you two did nothing but avoid sex any time he had anything going on genitally, you'd be 90-92% likely each year NOT to contract hsv2 from him, regardless of the sex act. since he's on daily suppressive therapy with valtrex, your risk is cut in half!! If you throw in condoms for sex too, you are down to a 2-3% risk of contracting hsv2 from him each year. Overall your risk is fairly low without a lot of precautions.
Avatar n tn I wear an SPF of 15 with my moisturizer every day, but sun damage has been done previously, no more. I plan to make an appt with a derm, but was looking for answers, thank you.
Avatar m tn Hey, Ive had chapped lips before, even some severe cases, but this is different. My lower lip is just chapped, but my upper lip is something different. It burns and tingles and if you look closely you can see tiny tiny bumps. There are also two large orange (slightly orange, hard to notice) splotches on the upper lip. Ive searched online and cant find anything like what I have.
18471869 tn?1469397785 When I am out in sun and for get to put chapstick with spf my lips are dry and itchy for the next few days, howerever this time it has become dark and scabby on top and bottom lips in the center. I played Volleyball for a couple hours about 2 weeks ago. So I'm thinking this isn't related to being in the sun. I'm dealing with yeast infection and psoriasis issues on my body/groin area as well. Could this be related? 30yo healthy young prof black man!! HELP..
Avatar n tn s probably early vitiligo. This has nothing to do with herpes. I suggest that you ask your dermatologist to examine your lip under a Woods light. If that highlights the whitening, he might consider treating it with a topical steroid cream or Protopic ointment. Your dermatologist can elaborate on this when you speak to or see him. Take care. Dr.
7510956 tn?1411671417 You just gave me a good tip, I never thought about chapstick with SPF. I got sunscreen but forgot about lips. I am a redhead and I am worried about sun exposure. Thks again!
Avatar f tn I was previously using neutrogena spf 50 dry touch. Is that better than Ansolar spf 60 lotion?
Avatar n tn s a hypoallergenic brand); I also have an Aveeno Essentials Moisture Lip Conditioner with SPF 15 (also hypoallergenic) to use during the day when I go out and I've been using that one for about 3 years with no negative results, just good soft lips! (I think the Aveeno might be discontinued though, so I'd try looking online for it).
Avatar n tn I used to keep a lip chapstick with me in my pocket with SPF 15-30 in it for easy application if I got caught outside w/o sunscreen on it. I used an overall good Neutrogena with Helioplex for the summer. Neosporyn can cause topical allergic reaction with long term usage, too, so most the docs suggest to steer clear of it. Hope this helps. And scarves are nice and comforting agains the cold winter if you live in cold air and wear silk scarves .. they feel nice against it.
Avatar f tn I'm so gald you asked this question and would like to add to it! How soon after can you start applying scar treatment/sunscreen? My tt was 6 weeks ago, and the dermabond is just about wearing off. I'd like to know if it's ok to start putting something like bio-oil on it. Also, will sunscreen suffice, or should I cover it up with a light scarf when spending time outside in the upcoming summer months?
Avatar f tn I expect they will fade a little once baby here as this happened with last pregnancy but I wondered if you mammies have used any really good creams to deal with this issue longer term.
Avatar f tn i went to see skin doctor and he said its nothing to do with allergy since i never had allergy problem before. i had apply lip balm with SPF continously, but my lips' skin is not improving at all. i have to peel it off everyday and this make me very terrible..i never had this problem on my lips before..wish that someone can help me. thanks.
1901977 tn?1333991726 Anybody know if sunscreen is okay to use during pregnancy? If so, is there an SPF limit?
Avatar f tn I have pigmentation on my face too but not red, it's dark and its above my top lip. It's awful. I have to put tons of concealer on so I don't look like I have a mustache. They say it goes away after you have the baby but my dr said if you breastfeed your hormones are almost the same as during pregnancy so really it doesn't go away til after weaning.
Avatar m tn are you using a high spf lip balm multiple times throughout the day? uv light is a trigger for cold sores so if you are spending more time in the sun than you normally would, that also would explain the increase too. you already have oral herpes, you didn't get it "worse" from someone else.
