What Causes Red Spots And Bumps On Lips?

Hello, I need help finding the best solution to take care of my lip situation. I saw today that I have a red spot along with tiny bumps on my bottom lip. This is the first time ever dealing with this. I frequently use Blistex, and that isn t helping. Sounds weird but it seems as if my lip situation is absorbing the Blistex, leaving my lip even more dry. I don t think I am allergic to anything. Climax is cold would that have anything to do with why I am getting a red bump and tiny bumps on my lips

Hi Dear,

welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern.

As per your query you have red spots and bumps on lips there can be many possibilities for bumps on your lip like allergic reaction , canker sore , bacterial infection , fordyce granule, mucocoele or it can be ecchymosis because of the trauma like lip biting and herpes . But in your case it seems to me as Herpes or cold sores which occurs because of lowered immunity of body. Need no to worry about it. Visit oral physician 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. If doctor doubts you may have oral cancer, a tissue sample can be collected to test for malignant cells. 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. Cover skin while exposure to sunlight and avoid sun exposure iof possible. Drink plenty water and fluids to re hydrate body.

Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
