Suggest Remedies For Discoloration On A Part Of The Upper Lip
One half of my upper lip has changed in appearance. Both halfs looked the same for many years. My upper lip looked normal. Now one half of my upper lip has a blip as is I flipped my finger on it in an upward fashion and it stayed that way looking unnatural. No blisters, no pain. It does not go away. What disease do I have.
please specify if you have been smoking or chewed tobacco. discoloration could be just a fungal infection or some adipose tissue collection.
you must go in for a skin biopsy to be sure about this lesion. we need to rule out oral cancer.
once we are sure it is not a malignant lesion we can apply a gel based ointment to get the color back to normal. candid mouth paint with aloe Vera gel might help. also have a lot of fresh fruit and green leafy vegetables which are rich in vitamins and iron
