What Does A Dark Red Line Below Bottom Lip Indicate?
A darkish red line about an inch long has appeared diagonally below my bottom lip on the right hand side this evening. I haven t cut or grazed it, I m not allergic to anything. The skin isn t broken or grazed and it doesn t hurt at all. It appeared very quickly (around 2-3 hrs ish). I have no idea what this could be. Can you help?

Hello, such lesion might be a dermographism (occasional urticaria), it is tempoary, will fade in 24 hours.
I would adv you to have patience, take tab Cetrizine 10 mg at bedtime and apply dermocalm lotion on the lesion, in case it doesnot fade in 24 hours, then visit a dermatologist for evaluation.
Thanks
Take care
