I have a coldsore/zit that appears every now and then at the edgge of my upper lip. I applied some acne treatment like usual, but instead of just applying it on the spot, I applied it all along my entire upper lip. Now my entire upper lip burns as if there's more than just more zit. But I don't see any except that one. Should I be worried?

LM answered Monday August 21 2006, 9:21 am: nah, that's normal. Acne medication can do that, and the skin around your mouth is more sensitive than the rest of your face.
I've heard that switching toothpastes can cause pimples around your mouth, but I don't know if this is true. It sounds crazy to me, but yea I suppose it could happen.
Don't worry about it. if it doesnt og away in a few days, it may be a cold sore. Abreva will get rid of it, or just wait it out (even though theyre icky) and just put some foundation or concealer on it. [ LM's advice column | Ask LM A Question ]
