Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query symptoms such as dark, itchy, tight, inflamed and burning skin on
upper lip you mention in query are pointing towards a condition
angioedema .Basically it is a kind of allergy that can be caused by insect bite , sun burn or certain medicines (anti inflammatory).
I would suggest you to :-
- Give cold compresses to affected area 2-3 times a day.
- Take over the counter anti allergic like zyrtec or bendryl.
- Apply
aloe vera gel at night .
- In the day times apply lim balm containing SPF 15 .
I condition doesn't get better in 4-5 days then
consult dermatologist . Doctor may give adrenalin sort , prescribe antibiotics (
amoxicillin) or may drain the swollen part.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
