my lower lip went bigger

[koreen]

last night my mouth was dry so i kept on licking it and biting it. but then i resulted to using the chapstick on my mother's table beacuse my friend told me that licking your lips will cause you to have a lump on it. so i went on spreading the chapstick on both my lips but then before sleeping, my lower lip started to itch and then a seemingly mosquito bite appeared. i tried to rinse the chapstick off thinking it may have something to do with this lump. my mom then told me to use petroleum jelly. waking up, my lower lip is now twice bigger than it's normal state. help me! what is this? how can i cure it?

Lips are REALLY sensitive. It sounds like you just pushed yours too far. The best thing would be to not apply anything, and to just leave them alone. Then take a Piriton tablet- an anti-histamine. This will calm down the swelling and any allergy you may have had to the chapstick. Licking and biting your lip may well have caused this reaction too. I find whenever I get some kind of allergic reaction, a long walk outside soon fixes it. The fresh air for some reason helps it. So go shopping!!

It might be a cold sore. You can get some gel for it but it should of been applied as soon as you get a tingling in your lips to stop it coming. Ask the pharmacist to have a look and suggest if it is a cold sore or not and give you some gel for it.

dont worry, your not allergic to anything, and you havnt been bit. You say you were licking and biting your lips because they were dry, well thats the reason they have swollen, i suffer with dry lips all the time and oftenbite the dry skin off, but sometimes got over the top without knowing, and after a few hours it looks like ive had collogen implants and they are really sensitive. Its just your bodies way of trying to heal itself. Next time you have dry lips get yourself a small tub of vaseline and rub it on and LEAVE IT! keep rubbing it on and within a couple of days your lips are smooth and kissable again!

oh yeah, if youve ever been punched in the lip then its the exact same feeling. no offence to the other posts but dont listen to them, you dont have a colesaw and your not allergic to the chaptick/vaseline. just trust me on this! i get it all the time.

Hey I would recommend to try bubblegum lip balm from Nyassa bath and body products as it will soothe your lips and reduce the lump. Plus it contains natural ingredients which keeps your lips moisturised for a long day.
