What Causes Tingling Sensation And Discolouration Under Lips?

HI, I have discoloration under my lips. I noticed the change about 3 weeks ago. I had some ginger soup, while i was eating it i noticed a tingling sensation under my lips which I paid no mind. Until I got home to see that my lips looked at if though they were burnt. A new symptom has also occured which is spliting at the side of my lips. I wanted to know did i burn my lips, will they heal and will the discoloration come back to normal?What shoud I do?

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query tingling sensation and discolouration under lips after eating hot soup is because of minor burn on lips. Need not to panic about it . Avoid using any cosmetics as it will exaggerate condition and apply steroid cream Hydrocortisone 1% for improvement of your condition. Tingling could be due to minor nerve damage to particular area. Do not scratch the area. If the condition does not resolve and there will be formation of blisters or small sores, visit dermatologist once and get it examined. Drink plenty of water. Keep apply moisturizer.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
