What Are The Causes Of Having Tingling Feeling Like Cold Sores On Lips Which Are Spreading?
Hi I woke up with a tingling feeling like cold sores on my bottom lip then gradually spreaded to swelling & tiny boils below bottom lip. It gets itchy like cold sores please help. Last night I had two nurofen tablets before I slept to help with period pains & now I get this....I don't get it.
I would keep a possibility of Fixed Drug Eruption(FDE) to Ibuprofen. It is a type of drug reaction to a particular group or class of drugs e.g NSAIDs, Quinolones, Suphonamides, Penicillin group of drugs etc. They present clinically as erythematous, itchy/swollen patches sometimes with overlying blisters/bullae. The patches resolve with post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation which can persist for months.
The reaction can happen everytime at the same very spot(s) (hence called fixed drug erption) if an individual is rechallanged with the offending drug.
Treatment is complete avoidance of the offending drug OR drug class altogether and usually the spots gradually fade away with time, which can be hastened by topical steroid application.
