What Could Recurring Tiny Bumps On Lips Indicate?

well i have these tiny bumps on my lips. when i wake up in the morning my lips are swollen and they don't burn and i feel no pain. the first and second time i got these bumps they itched but now they don't. it seems like every time i get these bumps they are different . one time there was fluid, another time the bumps were only on the corners of my lips. i wear lots of lipsticks and i feel like it is a allergic reaction but im not sure. after every reaction my lips will get black and they will get dry and peel off the black skin. i went to the doctor and she prescribed me valtrex that did not work. so i guess my question it what should i do now or if you can look at my symptoms and give me a list of things it could be?

Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concern...
As per your complain recurring bumps on lips can be due to a number of reasons like Herpes infection [viral] , bacterial infection, allergic reaction to certain lip products, sun blisters caused by excessive sun exposure etc..

The most probable cause that I can rule out by knowing the symptoms is viral infection caused by HERPES SIMPLEX VIRUS 1 infection causing cold sores..
Valtrex [valacyclovir] did not work as anti-viral ointments cannot cure the active infection and can only reduce viral count..

But for a confirmatory diagnosis consult a Dermatologist and get a viral as well as bacterial culture done to rule out the cause..
Other investigations and diagnoses can be done after clinical evaluation...

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards..
Dr.Honey Nandwani Arora.
