What Causes Strange Sensations Around The Lips?

Thank you! I have been having a strange feeling and sensation around the inside of the lips. They are usually smooth and soft. But lately they have been feeling kind of puckered, out jagged or bumpy. Almost like when you ve had something salty. Also sometimes when I run my tongue across the inside of my Louis it tastes a little salty. I noticed this after I had a cocktail with a salt room and it was made with infused pineapple and vodka. They seem to be getting better, not all the time like the first few days, but this has been about a week now. What could it be?

Hi,

You need to use zinc, iron and vitamin C supplements as these all can cause impaired taste sensation as well as poor oral or lips hygiene and supplementation of these help for better regrowth of tissue in these areas. Liquid paraffin and Glyecrine can be applied on lips to keep them smooth along side other measures. If issue persists, get sugar levels, thyroid levels as well as serum electrolytes tested.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Wishing you a speedy recovery.

Regards,
