Sore Lips For Month, Dentist Referred To Oral Surgery. Can It Be Leukoderma?
Hi I have had a sore on my lip for a few months no. It started as a white outline with the skin inside being purple. I have just seen my dentist who is referring me to the oral surgery department. This had made me worry. It isn't sore and he said it could be leukoderma?? But get it checked out to be sure. I'm worried!! Do you how I can tell if this is something sinister?

Hi,
From description it seems to have Pre-vitiligo.
Consult oral surgeon or dermatologist, get examined and rule out pre-vitiligo.
Ok and take care.

Hi there,
Thanks for asking your query,
No need to get worried.Without photographs and physical examination one cannot confirm what it is.so get it checked with oral surgeon or Dermatologist and even cosmetologist for confirmation.
