Mine is the same but a little different. I'd began to use the non brand version of Crest Whitestrips. After the second day of use my lips started to tingle. A week later dark spots appeared on my bottom lip (in a straight line) I stopped the use of the strips and started using Blistex Five Star lip protection hoping this would help but it actually made the tingling sensation worse. Now the only thing I put on my lips is the Blistex medicated chap stick. Hopefully this helps.

What kind of toothpaste have you been using. I used crest whitening. Perhaps it is the cause?

Have you learned anything of what you were experiencing? If so please share I too am having the same exact symptoms started out as a tingling dry patch on my upper lip that turned purple. It will fade a little and then come back randomly. No one seems to know what it is the lease help if you can.

My doctor told me mine was a venous lake and that it is not dangerous. I was looking for home remedies to treat it and noticed that one clinic was using IPL laser to remove them. I realized that is the same laser that I used at home for hair removal. I used it about 5 times on my lip over the course of one week and then left it alone. After the first week it lost all the redness and shrunk away to almost nothing. By the end of week 2 it had completely disappeared. So, if you know anyone with one of those machines you can remove it easily. They are so cheap to buy now that it would probably cost less than having it professionally removed.

I hve similar thing tho no really dark spit. Lush ultra balm soothes n quiets the tingling stinging. I read today it could be a bacterial infection-which I think I have -. Could be from using old Chapstick of any kind natural if not. Throw out all you hve n get the Lush ptoduct. It has jojoba oil in it. That's worked better for me than coconut oil.im going to a drmatogist in a week but thinking about going to urgent care seeing it's ifs bacterial infection.

Hello, to anyone having this same problem. I saw my doctor for the exact same thing. He said it was a sort of fever blister. It is a viral infection, and prone to arise when there is already something viral going on in your body. My doc prescribed Acyclovir, 800mg. 5 tablets per day for 7 days. I can tell you I've been on this medication for 3 days and the place on my lip is drying out and healing nicely. The tingling and tenderness is completely gone. Best wishes and I hope this helps someone.

Hey, I've been reading all the posts and I think I might be suffering from the same thing! It started out feeling like the left space under my bottom lip but above my chin was kinda hot and tingling and after a day, it felt really itchy. After 2 more days, there's like a purplish brown spot about half an inch in diameter on the left side under my bottom lip. For my bottom lip, only the left side of my bottom lip got very dry, became chapped and sometimes white and even peeled! the rest of my lips are fine and not even dry.
I tried using balms to moisturize and soothe it; and castor oil (which did lighten up the dark spot a little). But after a month or so, the same cycle of events repeat.
I don't smoke and am not sexually active. Anyone know what's going on with me and/or what I should do? I'm really worried.

I have dark spots just under the skin on bottom lip. Looks similar to a blood blister. It's been there for over a year. What could cause this and how to cure it?
