A member asked:

What does it mean if you bottom lip is swollen and it starts turning purple? its been happen since friday and still going now iv'e been waking up with a swollen for almost a week now..

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Did : Did you suffer any trauma to your lip? If so you likely have a hematoma (collection of blood) under the lip. This will take time to dissipate. You can try cool compresses/ice to your lip a few times a day and try an anti-inflammatory medication like advil (ibuprofen) to reduce the pain and inflammation. If you do not notice an improvement over the next several days see your doctor. All the best.
