Common Questions and Answers about Lip sores from the sun

lip

Avatar m tn Face is red and itchy - maybe from exposure to the sun. I now 4 weeks post possible exposure.
Avatar f tn Hi! I had really, really dried lips and I tried putting so much stuff on them to get them moist and finally I was able to but then there was dead skin on my lips that I picked off and kept licking it. After I doing that, I got a bump on my bottom lip on Monday and it went into an open sore...I don't remember it oozing and by Thursday it started to scab. Does this sound like a cold sore? I do get cold sores but always in the same place (the corner of my lip).
732948 tn?1245894551 I remembered reading that EM is more common in the spring, when people are outside in the sun. I searched online and learned that sun exposure on the lips can be a leading cause of cold sores. I remembered that my EM episode frequency increased after relocating to NYC (where I walk in the sun instead of drive). Putting 2 and 2 together, perhaps sun exposure on the lips is somehow triggering EM outbreaks.
Avatar m tn I was fishing at the beach from 12-10 yesterday could it be from the sun? Could it be that I bite my lips often?
4541337 tn?1364850200 Yes nothing you can do .. stay out the sun apply sunscreen to lips. Try cold sore creams thts abt it i hide frm everyone wen i get mines. Lol it takes a about a week for mines to heal and then some days after tht.
Avatar m tn I am not sure if these are cold sores under the surface of my lip swelling, canker sores that are also on my lip, or something else!
Avatar f tn Best to avoid contact with a lesion if for no other reason that prolonging the healing process. Otherwise, no, her outbreaks or shedding will not induce an outbreak. Note though that couples can get cold sores at similar times owing to similarities in stress levels, diet, sun exposure etc.
Avatar n tn About a week ago I was talking with this woman and I felt spit/saliva hit my lip (a few smaller droplets). Two days ago I spent the entire day snowboarding in cold, windy conditions. The following day my lower lip felt swollen and tingly/itchy. There are no visible signs of a cold sore yet, though I am concerned it could be developing. Is it possible that I caught Herpes from that woman? Is there something else that this could be?
Avatar n tn me too! i've been looking for stuff on the internet about this, and this is all i could find. I have had one cold sore outside my mouth before, and never had and inside, but recently my throat has been REALLY sore, and according to my doctor its most likely mono. (my test results haven't come in yet).....
Avatar n tn Apart from local conditions,addisons has to be ruled out in a mucosal pigmentation.If the pigment is per se is on the pink of the lip if it is.
Avatar m tn Just one more thing, the odds are low even after I found the cut on my lip after the kiss?
Avatar n tn I ate chinese food (tofu, pork), bran muffins (with apple sauce). The blisters feel incomfortable (the fluid blisters stretch the skin of my lips and my lip feels taut. The edge blisters also look bad because they look like cold sores.
Avatar f tn i want to believe that the lupus + excessive sun exposure could have been the cause of the symptoms? i am waiting for my results. my brain is in overdrive and i cannot function. its been a whole year. why did i wait...because i THOUGHT a test had been done at month 3. after requesting those results to examine from a LUPUS perspective i realized it had not been tested, despite my request along with other STDs. it has been a hard year. exactly a year since the event.

Avatar m tn A few days later I had a sore - I just thought it was because I had no chapstick or lip protection from the sun that day - so I figured it was from extremely chapped lips. I'm confused because the doctor was not that informative in answering my questions. Because I have HSV 1, does that mean I cannot kiss my girlfriend of 6 years? Is it possible that this can spread to my genitals? Should I get tested another way, maybe like a urethra swab, to get a clear picture? Thank you.
Avatar m tn My primary infection resulted in sores inside the mouth and it was due to HSV1. It's called herpes gingivostomatitis: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gingivostomatitis. It's can be mistaken for canker sores but there are distinctions which I'm sure you'll notice. My herpes sores were blisters first (2 grouped together) and popped very quickly around my gums. It also came with lots of tingling (nerves around the mouth).
Avatar n tn Hi, This could be a part of Cheilitis, which is a medical condition involving inflammation of the lip. 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. Whether this is eczema or not cannot be said with surety without having a look at the lesions. Lip balm can often provide temporary relief, though it should not be used extensively.
Avatar f tn I assumed immediately it was a blister from the sun and it healed within a week or two but left a slightly reddish scar. About 3 days ago i noticed that i was getting red in the lips in the exact place i had the blister last year. and now there is a bump and small amounts of clear fluid in them. It has not burst, but i have been very stressed in the past week, and thought that might have triggered it. now i am extremely worried it might be herpes.
Avatar m tn I just wanted to know if it was possible for HSV-1 to react without the typical cold sore symptoms and just cause cuts on my lip. The cuts usually heal in a day or two and are some times red. I am also in the sun working most of the day so could this be the cause.
Avatar m tn I still have Tonsillitis, and all of a sudden 2 or 3 little white coldsores have popped up on just my bottom lip. In the last 2 hours since i have been taking the antibiotics prescribed by my doctor. Are these cold sores or something worse? Please help as i am quite scared at the moment. They are like little white pimples on the inside of my bottom lip.
Avatar m tn Yes, cold sores ARE caused by HSV 1. Sun is a known trigger for cold sores, the only one trigger actually proven to be a defined trigger for outbreaks. It is unusual however, for a cold sore to leave a scar. The white dots you see have likely always been there but you are looking far more closely than you have in the past. Ask someone you know if you can look at the inside of their upper lip and when you roll up the lip, you will see white dots on the inner upper lip surface.
Avatar m tn I have also been spending a large amount of time in the sun and wind over the last 2-3 weeks. Is this just an unusually large outbreak of HSV-1 or could I have contracted oral HSV-2? I have never been tested for either so I assume my normal cold sores are from HSV-1.
Avatar n tn Because these are highly contagious from anywhere between 7 and 20 days. If you get the vaccine you will prevent yourself from getting any of the other 2-3 hpv types. Do you get breakouts when youv been in the sun too long? Or If the weather is really dry? Usually they appear when your immune system is comprimised and your getting a cold or somthing. It is a virus and thats how they work. You can use tea tree oil (Natural antiseptic) or abreva. Both work well. See your doctor!!
