What Could Be The Reason For Huge, Swollen, Numb Lips With Small Spots?
Hello last night i began feeling some numbness in the center of my upper lip. I didnt think much of it because my lips were actually chapped from the cold. This morning when i woke up my lip was huge, very swollen!!!! I looked in the mirror and discovered 2 small spots...been applying ice packs all day and some aloe vera, but dont see any change....Can someone help please

Hi i think u are suffering from angioedema.it is allergic condition caused by various allergens like food .water .insect bites or dyes.
It presents as swelling of any mucus membrane mainly lips.sometimes it can be congenital and is associated with acute urticaria.
It can be treated by antihistamine at night time and oral steriods and avoidence of allergens
