Hello,
What about the area btw nose and lip ? Is't swollen ? Normal ? Thx.
Hey
i have been suffering from swollen lips fro about a year now..
chinese sauces,anything with citrus taste,dust,extreme heat,metal contact...
all of these seem to cause swelling
i went to general physician,skindermatologist, allergy specialist,did blood tests, skin prick tests for allergies,all reports came negative.
dermatologist prescribed me anti alergic medicines with some creme to apply locally..these ointments when i stopped using my swelling re occured...
any suggestions from people from medical science would be helpful...
Anyone have any ideas
Your post sounded like my son had written it as he is suffering exactly the same. The only difference is that he doesn’t smoke. It’s so frustrating not getting anywhere with the medical profession.
I’ve had chronic upper lip swelling for 10 years now. I’ve been to countless doctors who all just basically give up. I’ve narrowed it down to when I eat lots of hard to digest foods (wheat products, corn, corn syrup) as well as junk food. I can have any and all in moderation. But if I have, say, pizza, spaghetti, etc for dinner an entire week, my upper lip really swells up. I think it may be a digestive issue. My lip is always slightly swollen but does get much worse when I eat these foods. I’m currently on a 5 year allergy injection program, which has significantly helped my allergies, but hasn’t done a single thing for my upper lip swelling. I’ve read everything from Lupus, to a deep fungal infection. But no doctor ever takes me seriously when I suggest these things. I’ve honestly given up. My upper lip is permanently disfigured from the years of swelling. It’s a huge insecurity which has caused years of mental anguish and depression. I’m 30, and I honestly don’t know how I will live with this for the rest of my life.
I’m pretty sure I caused this on my own when I was a child I bit my lip all the time. So I think I permanently made the right side of my bottom lip swollen and I have NO IDEA what to do!! Can anyone please help
I usually drank a tall bottle of Coke Zero and many glasses or Crystal Light daily.
My lips were swollen for 2 months. I eliminated milk, eggs, shrimp, nothing helped.
The swelling would go down when I took an antithistimine. I was getting ready to go to an allergist when I read about artificial sweetener allergies. After 2 days of not drinking Coke Zero and Crystal Light, my swelling was gone. It has been over 2 weeks and the swelling has not returned. I now drink unsweetened tea and water with lemon. I have heard that Stevia is a good alternative to sugar and artificial sweeteners.
