What Could Cause Itchy Patch Below The Lips?
My daughter 13 started complaining of an itchy patch below her lower lip 2 days ago. The next morning her lip was swollen and there was a pimple with a white head in the same place. She applied heat and popped the pimple to releive the pain as it felt very tight and painful. She took ibuprofen to ease pain and swelling. This morning her lip was really swollen again and pimple is yellow, applied warm cloth to it again and now it seems to be weeping, and red. What is this?

Hello, Welcome Thanks for consulting HCM,
I have gone through your query, as you have itchy patch and swollen lip dont worry it can be due to infection in tooth there can be formation of periapical pathology sinus opening .
Consult dentist and go for investigations IOPAXray if there is periapical infection then go for Root canal , restoration of tooth.
Do warm saline gargle two - three times a day .
Hope this will help you.
