Suggest Remedy For Rashes On The Lips

Hi! I have a rash on my outer lips and are actually touching. It originally started from the corners of my mouth. I had this before a lot and it stays for maybe a week or more. My lips burn right now and are very swollen and its crusting with yellow pus. I have had sexual activity but I dont think its herpes because there are not sores.

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. The symptoms you mention in query can occur due to many reasons like herpes , oral thrush , allergic reaction , fordyce granule , bacterial infection and mucocele . But is seems to me that the bump is result of infection as there is yellow pus coming out of it . I would suggest you to consult dermatologist for proper examination and to find out exact cause . Doctor may prescribe antibiotics ( amoxicillin) for a week . For now you can take ibuprofen or acetaminophen for pain and swelling , keep it clean and do not touch it with hands .


Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
