View 1 RepliesI had a cut a week ago on my corner of my lips but they are now healed. Now, i have very dry lips that are rough. I have tried exfoliating and applying olive oil but they are still dry. The skin around my lips are also starting to flake.
View 1 RepliesHello! I am a 34 year old woman who has just been diagnosed with shingles. I have had them for about a week and am quite uncomfortable, but not miserable. I have had some stomach pains for a few days that I believe are associated.
One problem I have is in all the information on the net and from doctors they stress the point "you can NOT get shingles from someone with shingles"... well, I disagree. My mother is a non-hodgkin's lymphoma patient who was diagnosed with shingles about two weeks ago. I live by her and help her and I find it hard to believe my shingles didn't come from being exposed to her!
Just wanted to let others know.
I've just been diagnosed with Shingles. I have been told you can't get Shingles from Shingles, only chicken pox from shingles. But I am the third person in work in a week to come down with Shingles. If you can't get Shingles from shingles, how come so many people in work have it?

View 2 RepliesMy lips, and the area around my lips have been really dry. Here are some of the problems with it:
Small dots appear below, and above my lips
White spots appear around lips
The lips, and the area around it are really dry, and sometimes red
Whenever I take a shower, after the shower, my lips are dry.
It's been happening for a long time now. My doctor said I have to drink more water, and I've been drinking 4 water bottles a day for the longest time.
I've tried chapstick, Neosporin, vaseline, and burt's bee.
I started these three weeks ago. Within three days I had the most horrendous dry mouth, sore lips and had trouble swallowing. I also got a vile taste in my mouth. Stopped them and within a few days that got better. Started them again two days and ago and the horrid symptoms have all come back again. Anyone else had problems like this with it?

View 1 RepliesI have been getting really bad lips recently(they are normally white and not ew) not sure if its because of my medication or what not, but I have tried lip scrub and several lip balms and before I go to bed my lips look normal its only in the morning and day.
Anyway, someone told me to try taking multivitamins, I may have a vitamin issue; my issue is are they ok to take? I am talking about the Seven Seas Complete Multivitamins for Adults. I have spoken to a pharmacist and she has said they will not interfere with my current medication. Or any advice on my lips?
Was wandering if anyone has ever had a problem with their mouth due to having pets. I have had this problem since I was 12 and always had a dog on the house.

View 1 Replies I had my lips augmented with the Silikon-1000. I had one treatment and the Dr. didn't even use full amount for both lips but I feel things are turning for worse...recently the silicone seems to be forming a bigger lump on my upper lip on the left side. I notice it now in pictures and videos of myself. Especially smiling and talking. Not too bad when I have a closed smile or closed mouth. A little worried it'll just get worse. Do you know if there is anyway to surgically remove just the one lump and not affect the rest of my lips? Or do you think that may be too risky?
I contacted him for his opinion and he suggested to inject the steroid in there, but I have also read very bad things about that stuff and how it can make things even worse. I think perhaps my lump was always there but almost 2 years after injections I have noticed it more...maybe the collagen around it increased a little bit. My mouth is just really asymmetrical and unbalanced and I fear people are going to hyper focus on it and judge me. I wanted a subtle natural result and lately is not looking like one.
Ugh, it's terrible, as much as I like more lip volume I hate the imbalance soooo much! I've had social anxiety and body dysmorphic symptoms for ages and this issue is really just too hard for me to deal with on top of those things....I'm always worried that not only I'm going to say something wrong out of nervousness people are focusing on my mouth when I talk. My pupils are two diff sizes due to an accident but now I don't even worry about that like I used to. I'm clueless about how to proceed and also I can't talk about this sort of thing with husband bc I don't him then focusing in too much as well. He already hates that I got the treatment in the first place since I came back n surprised him with it two years ago now.
After 2.5 days taking Trimethoprim my tongue & lips swelled up with so many blisters and mouth ulcers, felt really rotten with a fever... Face swelled up with red blotches - looked like a hamster! Unexplained painful red blotch on left hand.. went to a clinic on Boxing Day - Doctor said lucky I could still breathe properly!!! took antihistamines - not much improvement, dosed up with Paracetamol, Difflam spray and Daktarin mouth gel. Still can't eat properly 6 days later!
DO THESE DRUGS NOT GET TESTED PROPERLY??? - Just read that it is a derivative of a Chemotherapy drug... who wants to take this further? ...
since yesterday night I started feeling an extreme dry burning sensation on the left upper lip starting. To be precise exactly above the point where the lower lip and upper lip join. It looks like a small white spot. No redness but feels like burning sensation. Even after applying vaseline aloe Vera lip balm the burning sensation is still there. I am very scared . Could it be cold sore . I am 30 years old and I have never had cold sore in my life.
View 2 RepliesI was wondering if someone could help! About a month ago I was at home alone. My mouth started to burn really bad I wanted to rip my teeth out it was burning that much, my lips swelled and the burning slowly travelled down my body! It was under my arms my bust then travelled to my stomach and down to the back of my knees. I then went all funny and felt like I was going to collapse, and felt really sick. This lasted about 40 mins I also had a red rash that went away after the 40 mins that looked like bites. I went to my GP but he just looked at me like I was a hypochondriac and had gone mad! This has happened again tonight whilst at work. Has anyone else experienced anything like this before?
View 3 RepliesIt's been about 2 weeks that my mouth, tongue and lips are burning. No fever and nor runny nose. No coughing, headaches, and any other symptoms.
Today I saw my pharynx and found some red small scratches. I also feel some phlegm coming down from the nose to the throat.
I took a tablespoon of honey and I felt relief.
I'm experiencing a anxiety crisis and I'm wondering whether it could be due to that.
Can you guys give me some orientation?

View 3 RepliesHas someone found a topical cream that actually works? I went to see my doctor today who didn't even have a clue what Fordyce spots/SP was. when I filled him in he refused to prescribe me Tretinoin! Anyone know where I can buy this in the UK? Also would love to hear about any home remedies people have tried RECENTLY. I've been taking vitamins everyday and eat sh*t loads of garlic now but it still seems to be getting worse. Or maybe I just think it' getting worse being paranoid about it. Would it be worth me going to see a dermatologist? Would there be anything they could prescribe? I really wouldn't feel comfortable stabbing holes in my lips and squeezing these things out + there are to many my whole top lip is covered!
