What Do Tiny Pimples On The Bottom Lip Indicate?

I have had severely chapped lips for about 2 weeks now.. and noticed a few tiny round pustules on my bottom lip today. I am drinking more water. Some days I would go w/out any.. not good I know. I have some mupirocin ointment not sure if that may help. My lips are so dry that the corners are beginning to crack too

Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..


As per your complain chapped lips along with formation of fluid filled pimples can be due to number of causes, out of which common ones are Herpes Simplex Virus Infection, bacterial infection, allergies to any skin/ lip cosmetics etc..
Muricoprin will help only if you have bacterial infection otherwise not..

Therefore I would suggest you to consult a Dermatologist and get evaluated and a thorough clinical evaluation and investigations like lip swab culture and blood tests can help in diagnosis and treatment can be done accordingly..

As of now you can apply a thick coat of Petroleum jelly to reduce dryness..
Avoid licking or sucking the lips..
You can also do cool compresses over the lips..
Drink plenty of water..
Avoid application of lipstick or other lip cosmetics..

Hope this helps..

Regards.
