Is the blistering at the corner of the mouth angry?
"Doctor, I seem to be upset, please prescribe me some gunpowder." When I was receiving a doctor recently, I found out that many of my comrades had peeling, blistering, and ulceration symptoms after entering the winter.
Many comrades-in-arms think that this is a manifestation of getting angry, and it will be better to eat a little gunpowder.
In fact, there are many reasons for blistering in the corners of the mouth. I sorted out several common situations, hoping to help my comrades get out of misunderstandings and use symptomatic medicine.
There was a blister on the corner of the mouth, which burst into red
Herpes simplex virus infection is one of the causes of blistering in the corners of the mouth.
After being infected with herpes simplex virus, some millet-sized blisters will grow near the corners of the mouth. After the blisters burst, symptoms such as cracking, erosion, bleeding, crusting, and desquamation will appear, resulting in large areas of redness, swelling and pain in the corners of the mouth.
If the comrades in arms have the above symptoms, they can take orally acyclovir and other antiviral drugs under the guidance of a doctor, and also use neomycin ointment, compound zinc oxide paste and other ointments for external use.
Herpes simplex virus is more common, and it is susceptible to infection when the body's immunity is weak.
To resist this kind of virus, exercise should be strengthened to enhance one's own immunity.
There are wrinkles at the corners of the mouth, and peeling is not good for a long time
As soon as some comrades enter the winter, the corners of their mouths will have peeling, redness, and wrinkles, which will get better in spring. This is caused by the lack of B vitamins.
Dry weather in winter, rapid loss of B vitamins, will affect skin metabolism and normal skin growth, lips and mouth corners are prone to peeling symptoms.
In this case, the comrades can properly supplement vitamin B complex and apply lipstick containing vitamin E to accelerate skin repair.
Red and itchy lips, blisters in the mouth
After eating pineapple, mango and other foods, some comrades have symptoms of red, swollen lips, itching, and even erosions, most of which are caused by allergies. Allergens should be investigated immediately and no further contact should be avoided.
In severe cases, anti-allergic drugs such as loratadine can be taken.
If the condition does not improve, seek medical treatment in time.
In addition, eating large amounts of high-sugar fruits such as lychee and citrus will cause the oral cavity to be in a state of high permeability, resulting in blisters; excessive consumption of hard foods such as sugar cane and betel nut can damage the oral mucosa and easily cause blisters.
At this time, you don't need to rush to take anti-fire drugs, you can let your mouth "take a break", the small blisters will heal itself soon.
Often itchy mouth corners, dry and wrinkled
Some comrades will habitually lick their lips when they have dry lips, which will not only make the lips moist, but also aggravate chapped lips.
Because saliva contains proteins, inorganic salts and other substances, after the saliva evaporates, the substances remaining on the skin will absorb water from it, causing the lips to dry out as they lick.
Moreover, some enzyme components in saliva can irritate the lips and skin.
Frequent lip licking can also cause local skin to appear erythema, scaling, dryness aggravated, and cause inflammation of the lips.
Therefore, your comrades should try not to lick your lips. If you feel that your lips are dry and unbearable, you can apply lip balm to your lips to help lock the lip skin.
