How To Cure Swelling On The Mouth?
near the corner of my mouth is swollen and it looks like a light rash on the out side but is just because it is swollen. This happened before and Im convinced it might be caused by shea butter. I stopped using the shea butter but the swelling hasn't gonna away. After about a week of having it it started to hurt after I put benadryl on it. What do you think it is and how can I get rid of it? IM 26, 5'2, 102lb, and in good health no medical problems

This is not how allergic reactions manifest. It could be some other inflammatory condition since it hurts. Consider a simple boil or chelitis. It would be wiser to have a doctor look at it. you could apply some anibacterial till you see a doctor for the same.
