Have Chapped Lips, Small Pimples Around Lips And Blackheads. What Can Be Done?
Hi. I've had a concern about herpes and I wanted to speak with a doctor immediately. I usually have chapped lips and occasionally get small pimples around my lips that are blackheads or bumps from shaving. However, while at work I began having some pain in the corner of my mouth which is normal when my lip is about to split but when I got home there are several tiny little bumps that look like whiteheads in the corner. I dont have an image to upload but the bumps seem way too small compared to all images ive seen online of herpes. Any input on this? Im going to check with my PCP tomorrow morning but I just wanted to look into it tonight because it has me worried. Thank you for your time.

it is not herpes as herpes is viral and viral automatically clears in 3 week
and there are no recurences i think it to be allergies and gerd when the acid comes up in the mouth there are same changes in the lips
it can be due to medicines taken for other problems
oils shampoo cooking oils and foods causing this
can corelate it and findcause and treat
mean time take antacids tds
ppi agents to prevent reflux of acid
antiallergic tab night
and triamsolone mouth paint over area tds
and if infectedcan take metronidazole 200 mg bd for 5 days off and on
get diagnoses after consultation with the doctor
