Swollen Upper Lip, Feels Warm, Pigmentation. Applied Ice. How To Cure?
Hi - my upper lip, or the portion directly above the lip has been swollen slightly for months or possibly over a year. It feels slightly warm to me and I first noticed it when i got a very bad sun burn. Ice seems to help but it never goes away. It doesnt blister, but feels slightly puffy. Also nearby but not at the swelling point there are dark pigments - like someone drew a red thin line above my lip. I am not too concerned about those - just the puffy area - any suggestions on how to cure?
Thanks
