Question: hi, i have a white line appeared on the bottom of my lip as well as a raised faint line at the corner of my mouth half way down to my chin and underneath there are markings which look like scars. any ideas what the causes are?
Hi,
Thanks for writing to us.
Dermatology is completely a visual field and hence to think about a possible cause, having a look at the lesion is required. Also the description that you have given isn't helping much.
Kindly upload an image of concerned area, so that I can help you out in managing your concern.
I would also like to know
since how long are you having this lesion.
How did it begin and if it was preceded by any other skin lesion.
Hoping to hear from you soon.

Hi,
Thanks for uploading the pic.
I can see a linear hypopigmented lesion running downwards from the angle of your mouth along with some red eruptions.
I would like to know
if you applied something over your chin or underwent some procedure prior to these eruption
If red bumps or those linear scars
If some treatment was taken to settle these eruptions or scars

Hi,
The rashes on your chin seem to be some sort of allergic reaction.
I would advise you to apply a mild steroid cream like hydrocortisone over the area for a week and let me know how has the area responded. Hydrocortisone should not only help in those red bumps but should also reduce those white linear marks.
Regards.
