What Causes Swollen Lower Lip And Fluid Filled Bumps?
Hi. I woke this morning with my lower lip swollen and tingly. Also small clear possibly fluid filled bumps lined the border. I have had these bumps before and I assumed they were due to allergic reactions. They would be on the top of the lip when I ate pineapple or kissed my dogs who play in the weeds. When the dogs are clean I have no problem. But they had never been this tingly or swollen. As time has progressed my skin has gone considerable dry around the bumps and is scabbing with clear fluid. Other symptoms include a lump like feeling such as when you cry, in my throat. Hard bulging feeling eyes. Slightly strained breathing and an all over feeling of aches and pains. I would assume I had the flu if not for the reaction on my lower lip. I also started my period yesterday and possible contact from strange perfums or body lotions could be a contributer. I have had adverse reactions to shea butter and coco butter: itching and flat red rash on legs. Maybe it s my chapstick? I recently got a tinted blistex chapstick with tiny reflective minerals for shine. Also something similiar happened a two years ago from around april through may. My lip didn t exactly develope bumps but it leaked clear fluid that scabbed and when I d rub or irrritate it it would release more clear yellow fluid or blood if the scab was too attached. Any insight on what might be going on?

Hi,
Your condition is most likely due to herpes simplex. Applying Acyclovir cream will be helpful for this. You can also do blood test for herpes 1 and 2 to confirm this.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Nishad B. N., General & Family Physician
