Today I woke up with a fat lip, believe it or not this is a regular thing for me. It's not from getting into a fight lol. I actually get cysts under my facial skin that blow up randomly and cause my chin or lip to swell up. I'm lucky this time, because so far it hasn't become to severe. ::crossing fingers:: Luckily I'm off today and I can spend the day icing it up and help the swelling to go down. Also, I'm seeing my man tomorrow so I have to handle this situation asap! Last time, about 6 months ago this happened, but my lip looked horrible. I literally looked like I got in a fight with someone. I was so embarassed I called out of work. I couldn't even talk clearly. It was so annoying. :(
I have seen a dermatologist but he said taking medicine would be pointless because the swelling goes down in a couple days. So ice seems to be the quickest cure and I will be holding it to my face all day today lol.

Thanks for listening to me vent :)
Aw gosh that would be so embarssing >_< hope the swelling goes down extra fast :)
ReplyDeleteThis happens to me too, and it's horrible. I haven't had one near my lip for about a year (touch wood) but when I do get one it's awful, and I just feel crap until it goes down! Hope the swelling goes down soon x
ReplyDeleteouch I hope its not too painful!!
ReplyDeleteOh wow. That's nuts. I hope it goes down quickly. Is there a cause that you know of? Perhaps it is something you are mildly allergic to that you only eat rarely? My fingertips swell when I eat a certain type of lettuce, but I didn't know that for ages, because sometimes when I ate lettuce mix it would be included and and sometimes not. So it seemed totally random to me until I figured it out.

Oh no! This sounds very painful. =( I was going to suggest seeing a dermatologist (I actually just got home from seeing mine) but that stinks that you can't really do anything about it. Hopefully it goes away soon!
ReplyDeleteuh oh that's not good. Hope your lips heal soon. I know these can be painful and tough to get rid of.
ReplyDeleteThanks, yeah it finally went down, and I saw my boyfriend with a tiny scab, but nothing concealer coulldn't fix :)
