Medical Video: Cure a LIP Allergy! Big swollen, cracked & painful lips!! What works, what doesn't
Of course, no one is comfortable with a dry, flaky, cracked texture, even accompanied by a burning sensation on the lips. You might include craving lip skin feeling smooth, soft, and supple. Actually why, yes, the lips feel hot as if they are burning?
What causes lips to feel hot and dry?
A burning sensation that causes the lips to feel hot, dry, until sore, usually does not occur without reason. Try to remember again, maybe there are one or two things that you do and subconsciously cause heat to the lips.
The habit of eating or drinking too hot, eating spicy, sun exposure, experiencing burns, smoking, until the influence of chemicals allegedly as things that can result in the effects of dry and hot on the lips afterwards.
What's more, the thickness of the skin lining the lips is not always the same for everyone. That is why, sometimes this burning and heat sensation can come in different levels depending on the condition of your lips. In some cases, this heat can get worse and make you uncomfortable.
Note some of the following symptoms that mark hot lips as if they are burning:
- Pain in the lips
- Lips are inflamed
- Unusual redness
If the wound suffered by the lips is quite severe, sometimes accompanied by the appearance of blisters and even swelling on the lips.
How to cure it?
Treatment given when the lips feel hot like burning is not always the same, depending on the cause. In addition, treatment must be adjusted to the extent of the severity of the wound you experience on the lips.
Mild level burns
This condition usually occurs because of a fairly common cause. For example lips accidentally touch something hot, eat or drink that is too hot, and eat spicy food. If this is what you are experiencing, try starting the treatment step by:
- Clean the lips using a salt solution mixed with a little soap. Rinse slowly throughout the lip area to prevent infection. Do this method right after a heat sensation appears on the lips.
- Cold compress with a clean cloth that is affixed directly to all parts of the lips. This method can help reduce inflammation that usually occurs after the lips experience a hot and sore sensation. Avoid using ice cubes directly on the lips.
- Apply aloe vera to help soothe the lips that may still be sore and inflamed. Aloe vera can provide a moisturizing effect that minimizes inflammation while preventing lips from becoming dry and cracked.
Advanced level of burns
Lips at this level generally do not only damage the outer layer of the skin, but have penetrated into the lips to form blisters. Although sometimes you are anxious about the wounds that appear, you should not do anything because it is feared that it will actually exacerbate the feeling of heat, dryness, and pain on your lips.
Instead, let the lips heal itself with compresses and aloe vera. However, to speed up the healing process of sun-injured lips, smoking, or chemicals, you can apply the treatment technique using topical antibiotic ointment according to the doctor's recommendation.
Pain relievers that are consumed as needed can also help overcome the pain due to cuts on the lips. Try to always use moisturizer to soften dry and flaky lips.
If you have routinely undergone treatment to deal with the sensation of heat, dryness, and pain in the lips but do not heal, a doctor's visit can be the best way. Your doctor can recommend further treatment according to your condition.
