Hi there everyone,
I have had the same thing going on since Thanksgiving.
Only my lips swell and get red spots on them that look like pin-pricks. Within an hour there are tiny, oozy blisters. I have had a swelling on one side of my throat for well over one year that is often painful. The blisters also hurt after they break, very painful, almost like a chemical burn. I have also been having painful cracks at the corners of my lips. Read that was yeast...see below for my remedies. Herpes was the most common answer I got. Did Acyclovir for months (I think I had a lifetime supply in my cabinet). It stopped working so I kept increasing my dosage. Finally gave up on that one. Numerous Antibiotics have done nothing.
I have been seeing DR's for over one year, no one can figure it out. Does anyone have the same kind of red spots as I do?
I have done two things that help.
1. OTC cortisone cream twice a day
2. OTC yeast infection cream, like Monistat, twice a day.
My lips are still swollen a bit but much better. My throat is not and it really bothers me.
I would love to email anyone who has the same kind of symptoms.
