Lips are one of the most important features on the face. Apart from adding beauty, they are involved in various other functions. Lips help us in talking, eating and expressing ourselves in a myriad of ways. Swollen lips are a condition where either one or both the upper and lower lip gets swollen. This can be accompanied with redness, itching or a burning sensation.
Swollen lips, gums can be a sign of an active infection, allergy or other systemic problem.Too much Vitamin A and B12 can cause crusty and swollen lips. It does not matter if your source of vitamins comes from whole foods or supplements. Stay under 25,000 IU of Vitamin A per day and minimize your intake of cobalt contained within Vitamin B12.
Honey is a natural humectant, which allows the lips and skin to maintain moisture. It is a great antioxidant and will keep the lips from drying out.
Bruising is usually minimal, but every person is a little different and some may bruise more than others. The doctor may prescribe a topical ointment to use on and around your lips to help decrease the bruising and swelling.
If the lip pimples are really painful and swollen, try applying a little ice on it every 30 minutes. This will help in reducing the swelling.
Chamomile is useful for making your chapped lips less painful and irritated. None of the above herbs are addictive or have side effects. A vitamin E cream is also wise to use on a consistent basis. It gives your skin some of the vitamins it needs to stay healthy.
