Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What Causes A Large White Head Like Pimple At The Bottom Lip?
I have a pimple that came up very quickly (less than 24 hours) on my bottom lip. It's extremely sore, has a red spot about the size of a dime with a large white head. My lip (inside and out) hurt, my gums hurt, and it hurts to talk or eat. What should I do?
So sorry to hear about your problem and will try my best to resolve it..
As per your complain a large white head sore that bcomes up on the lip and causing pain in lip and gums seems to be due to Major Apthae that is a type of Apthous Stomatitis or Canker Sore and is of size moe than 10mm so it is called Major Apthae... I would suggest you to consult an Oral Physician and get evaluated and a thorough clinical evaluation and investigations like Biopsy can help in diagnosis and treatment can be done accordingly..
As of now you should apply numbing gel containing Lignocaine over the sore.. Gargle with betadine mouthwash.. Do warm saline gargles.. Avoid spicy and hard foods.. Rinse the mouth with cold water and suck ice.. You can also take anti-inflammatory painkiller like Ibuprofen.. Take Vitamin B complex daily..
Hope this helps..
Regards..
