How To Cure Swollen Lips With Red Outline?
Hi in the last few days my lips seem to have swollen a bit, best word I can think of, they have a red outline above and below and have at times felt quite dry and warm to touch, I did drink some orange juice, this isn't a rarity Idrink orange juice a lot and I'm wondering if I have had an allergic reaction to the acidity in it, does this sound like it is the probable cause, I don't have a history of physical illness but I am under stress at work and have felt a bit run down in the last week or two, can anyone help, thankyou, Greg x

Hello,
Thanks for the query,
You might have developed acute urticaria with angioedema.
Your description matches with that.
It is an allergic condition.
Anything including food, cloth, change in climate, pollens etc can cause urticaria.
You need to find out the cause.
Treatment can be with oral anti histamines.
Steroids like prednisolone are also helpful but cannot be used for long.
Please meet a dermatologist for exact diagnosis.
Let me know if you have any other doubt.
you can ask a direct question to me on this forum, following the below link.
