lip

Avatar n tn Hello, Without examination confirmation of a diagnosis is tough but the symptoms that you are having can be due to stomatitis and angular stomatitis. Stomatitis is an inflammation of the mucous lining of any of the structures in the mouth and Irritation and fissuring in the corners of the lips is termed angular stomatitis. Most common causes are iron deficiency anemia, or vitamin B deficiencies.They can also be caused by allergies and infections.
Avatar f tn If the cracking is on the outside at the corners of the lips, one of the gals here mentioned using Vagisil successfully.
Avatar n tn I tried treating it with blistex but the remained chapped. As a result of my chapped lips I believe I received an infection that must have occurred when my cracked lips encountered some virus or bacteria. I have redness around my mouth, irritation (itching), occasional minor swelling, and dry lips. I went to emergency room when it first started. Thinking it was an allergic reaction, the doctor gave me a shot or benedryl and a hot of cordisone to relieve swelling.

Avatar f tn He also has cuts on his tongue. Hs mouth has always been very sensitive so much so that even a pinch of pepper he could taste in his food. Please help... it is very painful also.
Avatar n tn Currently, I have one pimple-like bump on one side of my lip (as seen on the left side of picture), and on the other side are small dry spots on my lip. I cannot tell WHAT in the world they are because they are rather small and not very noticeable. I have to look especially close to be able to see these dry spots on the left of my upper lip. Now I'm kind of a hypochondriac. Once I started researching all of this information on Herpes, I started flipping out, thinking that I have HSV 1.
Avatar f tn Ok im 30wks & the past 3days i have noticed that im always thirsty, like the back of the throat feels so dry & scratchy..
1273473 tn?1270775840 I have had the mouth sores, very dry skin, and dry eyes. I told my friend about the mouth sores. She had a severe brain injury many years ago and told me that during recovery she would get sores from thrush which I never had before, but heard the sores were like that. She told me the dr had her gargle with water and white vinegar (just a little). The idea was to change the ph of the mouth.
Avatar f tn Lips dry due to needing more hydration. Olive oil works for adults. Would that be safe for a baby? Never looked it up...
Avatar m tn Hi, just depends if the virus is on the surface, Since your breasts are part of the upper ganglion it would be possible to contract it there.
Avatar m tn This winter I got chapped lips and started using Burts Beeswax daily. Went well all winter then last week I woke up and my lips we're so chapped, I yawned and the corners of my mouth cracked. 3 cuts on both sides for a total of 6 cracks.. ouch! Also the areas around the corner are numb. There is a burning pain all day and the edges of my mouth are itchy. This has been going for 4 days now. I've used vaseline and changed to medicated blistex but no relief. Any help would be great.
163305 tn?1333668571 but thats over 3 months post..you can still see the scared area on either side of my mouth...but its kind of not very noticeable ...thats the only place on my face that sh** happened..also inside my mouth was really sore...good luck..
Avatar n tn s preety but lives alone and has no bfs i dont know why but thing is that i kissed her on the lips and my lips were cracked with a small smear of blood on my lower lip!her lips too were cracked and we kissed one day! now i know we cant get hiv by kissing if no blood contact but suppose that girl bite her lips on PURPOSE!!!!i kept thinking this all time.
Avatar m tn I was recently on vacation in a very dry environment and developed pretty chapped lips and a "crack" in the right corner of my mouth. I chalked it up to the weather and lack of sleep / hydration. I have now returned home (about 4 days later) and my lips have cleared up with the exception of the corner crack and I have also developed what I would describe as a small whitehead a half inch or so down from the crack, on my lower lip just below the "rosy" part.
Avatar n tn Or a bad case of Chapped lips , a condition whereby the lips become dry and possibly cracked. It may be caused by the evaporation of moisture. Lip balm can often provide temporary relief, though it should not be used extensively. One should avoid licking their lips as saliva contains the enzyme amylase, which can damage the already compromised lip tissue. Honey can be used on the lips as a natural remedy.
Avatar m tn s penis and i must have bit it or something and it started to bleed a little and it got in my mouth and i am worried that i may have some open cuts or sores and that the blood got in it. i also, have dry/cracked lips and worried that the blood could have got in there as well. is there any chance of catching hiv??

Avatar f tn But he has ate me out... and one time he had what looked like cracked lips... on both corners of his lips. and he ate me out... after i realized they were there it was to late... i freaked out but it was on both sides... and looked like cracked dry lips... anyways that was about 3 weeks ago.. well about a week ago i thought i had an UTI. Hard to pee. Felt like i had to pee all the time. hurt before i pee'd.
Avatar f tn She then came back to me and gave me a peck on the lips, however, then I noticed that my lip was cracked and there was a little blood there because my lips were dry. I'm not sure if my lips were cracked and bleeding when her nose bled? I'm really worried because all we did was kiss and this happened. I don't know her hiv status but my friends believe that she is fine. I asked her to get tested because I just recently got tested so I know I'm clean.
Avatar n tn I am constantally wiping the moisture out of the corners of my mouth. My lips have a burning sensation inside and out. Mouthwash sets me on fire, but just the anterior portion of my mouth. I have tried many kinds of chapstick. The redness in the corners of my mouth is spreading. It is very embarassing. I thought maybe it was a yeast infection,but i used nystation oral suspension and took 2 diflucan, one week apart without relief. PLEASE HELP.
Avatar m tn I used the cream Lamisil on my face before reading the instructions. Lamisil has the ingredient Terbinafine hydrochloride which I thought I needed for a condition I have but before I read the warning I used it. It states not to use on or near the mouth. After use I saw my lips get very white and after a couple of days it seemed like the top thin layer of skin came off: painless. I know its my fault for not reading the box but now my lips get very dry. They turn to an off-white color.
