Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have minuscule inflammation around mouth which could be due to allergic reaction, stress, hormonal changes, use of wrong cosmetic product. I would suggest you to take anti allergic like Allegra 60mg twice daily for 3 days and Ibuprofen in case of pain. . To alleviate swelling and any type of inflammation you can go for steroid injections and topical medications. Maintain oral hygiene. Apply dologel on area of inflammation. Drink plenty of fluids. Apply cream containing kojic acid to lighten inflammation. I would suggest you to consult dermatologist again for proper evaluation ,doctor may prescribe antibiotic course for 6- 12 weeks and may also prescribe medicine like isotretinoin
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
