Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
This morning, I noticed what looks like the beginning of a bruise below his bottom lip. It is purple and blotchy. It has now spread to cover his whole chin. It doesn't hurt or itch and there are not bumps. He told me that it has been on the bottom of his feet before. What do you suggest? Thank you for your time. Lana
Understanding your concern. As per your query purple bruise at the bottom of lips is could be due to traumatic ulcer secondary to lip biting by the sharp teeth or it can be a aphthous ulcer secondary to stress. Some times bleeding disorder or bleeding due to raised blood pressure causes these type of lesions in body. Need not to worry about it. I would suggest you to consult a oral physician and get it evaluated. Go for biopsy by taking sample from labial mucosa of lip. Go for blood tests such as complete blood count. Take topical anesthetic like lignocaine gel and topical analgesic like choline salicylate. Do warm saline gargles. Maintain proper oral hygiene. Drink plenty of water.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon. Best Wishes, Dr. Harry Maheshwari
