Question 1

the center part of my lower lip split and is bleeding nonstop for 20 minutes with pressure applied. whatshould i do?

Accepted Answer

See a doctor: I would see someone about this. You need to get the bleeding to stop and find out why it has continued to bleed despite pressure.

Question 2

should i put ice on a split lip?

Accepted Answer

Sure: Not only will the ice reduce swelling from the traumatic cause of the split, but the cold constricts blood vessels and greatly reduces or stops the bleeding. And it feels good!

Accepted Answer

Many: There are many reasons, ranging from weather to autoimmune to hormonal. See an internist if this persists.

Question 4

is it healthy for a baby to eat his lower lip?

Accepted Answer

Habits: Pernicious habits can cause malocclusion.  Sucking on lower lip can cause upper teeth to protrude and can desiccate the lower lip.  Talk to your pediatrician and seek advice from a pediatric dental specialist (pedodontist).

Question 5

Accepted Answer

: Not much to go on here. Probably submucosal veins

Question 6

lower lip swells overnight since last two weeks. what to do?

Accepted Answer

See Allergist: Intermittent swelling with unknown trigger could be a sign that you have idiopathic angioedema (CIA). Common triggers include heat, cold, and viral infections. CIA is more common in females, average age of onset between 30-50yrs. Medications like ACE-inhibitors can also cause random swelling. Trial of daily antihistamines like Zyrtec (cetirizine) can be beneficial, screening C4 level can help reveal cause.

Please: consult an ENT (Ear, nose and throat) doctor.  If you have a history of tobacco use, this  may need further testing.  Take care and let us know how things work out.

Accepted Answer

See MD asap!: That's a very good question. The list is long.  It warrants you seeing your primary care physician or a neurologist immediately. You shouldn't want merely a list of possibilities with guesses and answers over the internet. You should want an exact and accurate answer asap!  that will require you seeing someone for an evaluation.

Question 9

white patches on lower lip seem to leave overnight and return the next day?

Accepted Answer

White Patches!!: Good day;
   Consider a Virtual HealthTap Consult or contacting your dentist. They are usually called fever blisters. These cold sores most commenlycaused by herpes simplex (HSV-1). Usually last 7-10 days and medication (Abreva) lessens their intensity and duration.

Question 10

can a lower expansion appliance change the size of my chin and length of lips.

Accepted Answer

Not really: Lower expansion appliances work by tipping out the lower teeth. They do not actually expand the bone the way upper expansion appliances do. By tipping out your lower front teeth it will change the support your lips get from your teeth and may make your lips look longer by giving them more support. By 'filling out" this part of your face it may make your chin look smaller.
