Accepted Answer

Sensitive skin: It may help to discuss with a physician because a lot of questions come to mind that would help differentiate possible causes.  A common situation is contact sensitivity often to cosmetics or lip products, especially if there are fragrances or plant extracts contained in the products. Try avoiding these and take care to moisturize to promote healing (using frangrance/additive free product).

Question 3

3yo daughter had swelling of the lip and rash reaction to peanuts. what is the best treatment option - avoidance or desensitizing?

Accepted Answer

Avoidance: In my experience, centers that do advanced desensitization for nut allergies do not offer the procedure under 5 years of age. In the interim, an allergy action plan including an epi pen and frank discussions with all day care or child care personnel needs to be in place.

Question 6

how can i reduce the swelling of my lip ring?

Accepted Answer

Natural process: Your lip ring placement caused trauma to the lip and it is a foreign body.  The immediate response is inflammation (red, hot, tender swelling). This is the body increasing the blood flow to the injury to bring healing factors to the area and also the veins expand to carry bad stuff away. Gentle cleansing, applying ice to the area and using antiinflammatory medications motrin.Advil (ibuprofen) will help.
