Hi,I am Dr. Shehzad Topiwala (Endocrinologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Bruise under lower lip. Pain in right flank. Has inactive thyroid. On medicines. Reason for sudden appearance?
A dark purple almost quarter size bruise appeared under my wifes lower lip in the centre where a man would have hair in the centre. It appeared after dinner. Coukd a mark occur that quickly if she burned her lip on a boiled cob of corn ? She doesnt remember bumping her lip. She also has had a pain in her right flank for over a year and is actually scheduled for a CAT scan in two weeks bec bloodwork was all negative and so was an ultrasound. She us 46 and takes pills for inactive thyroid and testosterone creme for HRT .
Hi, a burn mark because of boiled cob can be a possibility. Other possibilities can be a fixed drug eruption due to any drug she is taking or a petechial patch because of some problem with coagulation profile. If it does not improve or fresh patches appear, do consult a dermatologist. Reagrds
