Why do I have persistent red patch on lip?

I am a 19 year old female. I have had a red patch on the inside of my upper lip for around 4 and a half weeks that hasn’t gone. Sometimes it’s painful, and it regularly tastes metallic. I’m not sure what this is or how to treat it

You may be dealing with a condition called oral lichen planus, which can cause painful red spots in your mouth that taste metallic. Don't worry, it's not contagious. The exact cause is unknown, it might be linked to the immune system. To ease the discomfort, avoid hot or sour foods and use mild mouth rinses while keeping your mouth clean. If these tips don't help or your symptoms worsen, make an appointment with a dermatologist to get a proper diagnosis and discuss further treatment options.

Doctor, what should I do to get rid of these block spots? Can you tell me the skin care cream to apply on Face.

സ്ത്രീ | 32

If you have dark spots on your face, which could be caused by your sebaceous glands being blocked or the skin gathering too much pigment, they probably are. Face cleaning and protection from the sun are the two main prevention methods for infinite spots. You want a cream that includes retinol, A, not to forget vitamin C, to ensure it will lighten the color in time.

Pimple and Pimple marks in face

Female | 27

Pimple marks are small bumps that can be red, swollen, or have pus, the pinky-gray of the skin. These things are generated when the pores become clogged with oil and dead skin cells. Pimple marks are dark or red spots left behind after a pimple goes away. In order to reduce your chances of getting pimples, you should wash your face regularly, stay away from oily products, and never pick or squeeze the pimples. Apply products that contain benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid to treat them.

I am 27 years. I have a problem with my mouth and tongue. Sometimes. When im stress my tongue will retract. And now, i have lot of canker sore in my mouth and tongue. What should i do to make it heal faster. Thanks

Female | 27

Canker sores are small, painful ulcers that are so troublesome that one can find it hard to speak or eat. Stress can be a possible reason for them as well. To promote healing, try rinsing your mouth with salt water about three times a day. Try to avoid spicy and acidic foods that can aggravate the sores. Regularly brushing your teeth and mouth can also speed up the healing process.
