Yellow Stain On Entire Upper Lip, Up To The Lower Part Of Nose. Addict To Lortab 10, Ritalin. Reasons ?

My sis is an addict. Lortab 10 and Ritalin. She has a yellow stain from that encompasses her entire upper lip , up to the lower part of her nose, and also a bit of yellow stain below her lower lip . Any idea what this may be from? She just left for rehab , but hasn t been totally honest about everything she uses. Is it from smoking Lortab or Ritalin from a pipe?? The Lortabs were the blue ones.

Hi there ~

I understand your concerns. The yellow stain on entire upper lip up to the lower part of nose is due to snorting ritalin. I believe you are addicted to lortab as well and you have been inhaling the medications by snorting. This can cause you to have this kind of physical bodily reaction. I also believe that she needs to go to rehab and will start feeling better from the treatment. I hope you understand that the dependence on these drugs is fatal and that she needs to complete treatment, even if it necessitates it to be court-ordered. It would be in her best interest.

I hope this helps. Take care and have a lovely day!
