Common Questions and Answers about Bit lip not healing

Hi all, my gf had a bad herpes outbreak about a week ago and its been healing steadily to where theres still a small scab left on her lip. This morning she playfully bite me on the arm but didnt break the skin. About a minute after, when I looked at her lip and realized it wasnt healed I went and washed my arm with soap.
We both have had oral herpes for years though never been tested to see if its HSV 1 or 2. We both have regular breakouts every so often.
I can assure you this is normal. I had the same sort of scab (from a clumsy mishap and bit in to my lip) dr checked it out and it's all part of the natural healing process . Nothing to be alarmed about.
However do not pick or peel it off. To speed up healing you can take a shot glass full of warm salt water (sea salt or Himalayan) and swoosh it around. Definitely will sting but I found it actually helped with the pain and healing after.
What can I use on my bottom lip? Currently cracked open, not healing, and can't keep anything on it for long. Eating or drinking it causes it to open again. Use aquaphor at night, but nothing stays on during the day.
Is it possible to get HIV if you give someone head and you have chapped lips but you don't "finish" him off? I'm not sure if I should get tested or not because a week ago I gave head to someone who never had any form of STI/STD test done before but he said he's never done much with anyone aside from me.
I think it formed after I accidentally bit my lip while I was eating. I did a little bit of research on mucoceles and I couldn't really find any conclusive answers. My question is will a mucocele go away on its own and if so, how long will it take? Is there anything I can do to speed the healing process?
Hello MedHelp, I'd just like to ask a question.
Lately I've been having really bad anxiety attacks due to worrying too much about someone I'm about to date..
Last week, (Thursday) we met and hang out like we usually do, and while we were eating I noticed something weird about her lip. I noticed that a part of her lower lip was red and possibly a bit swollen.
Well I'm a bit confused cause its not a blister really at all and never leaked any fluid of any kind it was just a big whitehead that I irritated the hell out of and now is kinda scabbed. And I went to see my doctor who said it didn't look like any cold sore he's seen because of its location and look its also healing up and looks more like dead skin than anything else.
It looks flat in front of my lip and this is good BUT there is a lot of hard tissue inside the lip and some hard swelling in the inner lip. I can not even smile for real, it is so stiff.
Please, please tell me it is normal because I am freaking out. I am massaging it 3 times a day with pure vitamine E oil. Will the hard part "melt", or become softer?
Thanks a lot. Serenou.
Has scabbed just a tiny bit closer to the outer line of the lip, when I picked at it, nothing came out besides on dot of blood. When I lick my lips, that small tiny bump is the only part of the lips that feels very smoothly, as if nothing is under the layer. The rest feels smooth. And today I have noticed it has red lines Inside, as if it’s blood running through it? I’m not sure but I’m worried. Dont know what it could be, all I was thinking is I might’ve bit it too much and now is like this?
However, at the time he not only removed the lump, but also did a biopsy removing a section of my lip. During the healing, I have been left with a small indent in the line of my lip. What concerns me most though is the lumping under the lip surface which does not seem to want to recede and the pain which i feel whenever i smile or move my mouth. This is really uncomfortable and stressing me out a bit. It feels like having an ulcer which you can't get rid of.
The thing is that since I started using it my upper lip has become somewhat yellowish in some areas around the the lower side all the way around, and a little even a bit up on the lip. Could this be an effect from the Aloe Vera lip balm? I red something today about Fordyce's Condition and it looks awfully lot like that. I've never seen these spots before and there are plenty of them now. Will they go away or at least be less visible?
It seems to me like it's a cold sore/fever blister, whichever you would like to call it. I have had them since I was little, the whole time from the first tingle to it being healed is usually about a week for me. It will flare up into a blister, then it will pop(on it's own, do not try to pop it!), it will crust, and slowly start healing. They are painful and embarrassing. Mine get quite a bit bigger than what yours looks like.
To help balance my lip paralysis in my left lower lip my PS gave me tiny bit of Btox on the right side to at least balance it till it came back. Well it came back in about 2 months but where the botox was injected still hasn't! It was a teeny tiny spot on my chin where he placed it and so now it is slightly imbalancd from the botox! Its been over a year but apparantly botox in the chin can last a long long time because the muscles there are used often.
Hi,
Sometimes treating something like that too much is more damaging than healing. I think your dentist is right. Do less, not more. You have to leave it alone and let it heal on it's own. A mouth sore like that has to heal from the edges in (if I understand the problem correctly) toward the center. Try to be very gentle in that area. If you can, do not touch it. It should start to heal over in about 10 days to two weeks. The white tissue is tissue trying to cover the open area.
It was nearly completely healed but not 100%. And today i can see what looks like a freckle in my lip at the top, near the border but actually in my lip. It is light brown and very small, looks like a freckle but in my lip, and it just appeared overnight. However, I have not had any tingling or strange sensations. I have never had a cold sore before so not sure if this could be the start of one?
I was at my doctors office the other day for my every three week checkup and he said that he noticed something in the notes on my anatomy ultrasound. He said the tech could not find a nose on the baby and he said the baby might have cleft palate. I have had two healthy babies with no defects, there is no history of cleft palate on either families side. I'm confused and wondering if anyone else has heard of this in an ultrasound but the baby turn out to be ok?
