What Causes White Ring With Little Redness Around The Mouth?

For the past couple of days I ve noticed a white ring around my mouth with a little redness around the outside of the ring. I recently went off birth control and have heard that can cause lightening around the mouth. I also had quite a few strawberries the other day and thought it could be an allergic reaction, but I thought that would have gone away by now. Help!

Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
The white ring with red outline could be a symptom of erythema multiforme, that is a allergic reaction to the strawberries. consult a oral physician and get it diagnosed. Once it is diagnosed you can take anti allergic tablets like cetrizine or rupatidine. if the lesion does not subside within 5-7days, consult a general physician immediately.
I hope my answer will help you, take care.
