A member asked:
My dad's bottom lip is purple, just half of it in the left hand side, he is 67. he was out in the cold earlier but it's still purple, what is it?

Low blood flow: Probably low blood flow to that area. He can put a warm (not too hot) wet wash cloth on the area and it will slowly pink up again. If it doesn't he should talk to a doctor. If he's a smoker he should stop. When he's going to out in the cold he should apply lip balm and cover the are with a scarf, turtle, or other winter gear.
