Accepted Answer

Treating lip eczema: Persistent chapped lips can be lip eczema, which may be treated like skin eczema, using hydrocortisone cream (twice a day for 1 week) plus Vaseline or Aquaphor to retain moisture. Sometimes lip balm or lip sunscreen chemicals cause an allergic reaction. Other times, a person is a primary lip-licker (it's his habit). Once cracked, lips get irritated by routine foods and juices. A doctor can help.

Question 7

i have a problem with swelling food?

Dysphagia: Or problems swallowing food have to do with esophageal (food pipe) and/or neurological disorders most of the time. It does result in time in malnutrition and that’s why is critical to signal it to your doc as early as possible.

Question 8

what does retaining fluid and swelling mean?

Accepted Answer

Developing edema: Could develop from a high salt intake. Certain heart and kidney conditions can be causes for this. It warrants evaluation by your physician.

Question 9

what do experts consider effective ways to stop swelling?

Accepted Answer

Whats the cause ?: Your complain is very general. Things that cause that include severe allergic reactions, heart failure, severe malnutrition, severe fluid overload, sepsis, etc. Swelling is a very non-specific finding and has so many causes that identifying the cause takes more than 400 words allows me to help. If it is causing you problems, then getting a doctors opinion should give you peace of mind.

Question 10

my corona is swelling and it turns to dark blue-greeyish colour ??

Accepted Answer

Bruised?: I am assuming you are referring to the  corona of glans penis ? Have you had any rough sex lately which could have caused bruising ? Has your foreskin retracted and causing pressure over the glans penis. It is difficult to comment without an examination. Your doctor needs to examine this.
