What Causes Unexplained Swollen Lips?

default
Posted on Mon, 13 Apr 2015
Question: My son was on Accutane 2 years ago, and always had some lip issues, but about 6 months ago..they started swelling like XXXXXXX duck. Red lines around, had lip biopsy, tons of tests, no results showing why...I believe Accutane... He does have some other issues like low B, D, vitamins, cholesterol questionable (understand that can also be Accutane). Is this possible and if it is this... will it go away?
