is it possible to get a mrsa staph infection in your inner vagina lip from a cut u got shaving? especially since have had reaccurring mrsa for 6 years

Accepted Answer

Yes: You can get MRSA anywhere the skin gets broken, and  many people have been colonized with MRSA so they get recurrent infections. If you have had that, then be sure to see you doctor, and you  may  need an infectious disease doctor, to treat you with the proper antibiotics. Your doctor might also culture your nasal passages maybe treat for carriage of MRSA in the nose. Go to your doctor!

Question 6

randomly will get a small bump within my inner lip, doesn't itch or hurt and there will only be one at a time, what can it be?

Accepted Answer

Mucocele or fibroma: A mucocele is a fluid filed sac that can be present on the lip, floor of the mouth or other areas of the mouth. If it's not a canker sore or a herpetic lesion (herpes common due to stress, sunlight or certain foods like chocolate) it's a fibroma which can be caused by continuous trauma ie. Biting the lip. Many people have habits that cause these and can be removed or healed by use ofa diode laser

Question 7

yesterday, i found a small, soft, flesh colored, painful bump on my inner lip. today, it is bigger and i found another one. help?

Accepted Answer

Bumps on lips: Most of the bumps that occur on the lips are small cysts filled with mucousy material called mucoceles. They result when sometimes the pore for saliva production gets blocked and mucous builds up. They are benign. In some cases they may go away by themselves, but most of the time patients come to the doctor to have them cut out in a simple 3-minute procedure.

Question 8

what's that bump on the inner lip of my vagina?

Accepted Answer

Uh OH!: I really am not quite qualified to answer this question since my area of expertise is the mouth, which is why my professional degree is dds.   For some reason i also have been listed incorrectly as being an expert in female health, which I am not.   Sorry.

Question 9

why does my lower inner lip stick to my lower gums?

Accepted Answer

It's hard to say why: But I am trying to imagine what you are asking..& i think the reason might be that your gums in between your teeth (called papillae) are receded down, therefore you are involuntarily  suctioning  ur lower lip when your mouth /lips are closed, & since your inner lips /mucosa is movable and moldable,  if fills in those papillary spaces...Just a guess.. But if u see ur dentist he/she can see better.

Question 10

can you offer some tips please on how to get rid of a torn inner lip?

Accepted Answer

Possible trauma: Many times chronic low grade microtrauma can cause torn lower lip outside lower front teeth. Either edges of upper teeth are rubbing or airway problem, loss of back teeth causing over closure, lip sucking habit, placement of tobacco. Many reason. Look for the cause.
