Suggest Treatment For Painful Sore On The Lips

I have a painful sore on the inside of my lip. I also found out I contracted chlamydia and gonherrea after I was cheated on with multiple prositutes. Is this sore just a canker sore or can it be a result of the STI's or can this possibly be herpes?? The sore started as a white small pimple and is now much bigger and looks like an ulcer

Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..



As per your complain a large sore on the inside of lip that initially looked like a pimple with white tip is most probably a MAJOR APTHAE that is a type of canker sore only but is larger in size..

I would suggest you to start applying numbing gel containing Lignocaine or Choline salicylate over it..
Apply steroid containing oral gel like Kenacort..
You should take lysine and vitamin b complex supplements..
Avoid spicy and hard foods..
Suck ice pops and drink plenty of water..

In case if it does not improve consult an oral physician and get evaluated..'

Hope this helps..

Regards..

Hi Dear,

welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of painful sore on the lips which is because of herpes simplex virus infection i.e symptoms of cold sore. It does not seems to be due to STD's.

Need no to worry about it. Visit general practitioner once and get oral examination and visual examination done. If its not identifiable then go for culture by taking sample with the help of swab to determine if bacteria, viruses, or fungi may be causing the bumps. Avoid pricking it. Use antiviral ointments such as rich in acyclovir. Wash face frequently, only with water without use of any chemical agent. Your symptoms will resolve soon. Avoid smoking as it will exaggerate your symptoms.

Cover skin while exposure to sunlight. Drink lots of water and fluids to re hydrate body.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Mahehshwari
