Upper lip irritation getting worse, Need help with sudden skin symptoms
Hi there!
I really need some help because something strange has been happening with my skin and it has gotten worse today. For the last three days I have felt tightness around my upper lip. I did not think much of it at first because this sometimes happens with weather changes. But when I woke up today the area felt very uncomfortable. It was slightly red, warm to the touch, and irritated.
I tried using an ice cube to calm it down. It felt better for a short time but then the redness became worse and the skin started looking wrinkly in that area. I put on a soothing relief cream which made the wrinkly look fade for a bit, but the tight feeling stayed.
I also noticed some darker patches around the sides of my nose and a little under my chin. Those areas are not tight or wrinkly, but once the cream settles the wrinkly look on my upper lip comes back. I keep reapplying the cream because it only helps temporarily.
Another thing I noticed is that when water touches my upper lip or the sides of my nose, the skin turns a murky white and looks pruny, almost like I have been in the shower for too long. This is the first time I have ever experienced anything like this, and I am in my early 20s, so it has made me really anxious.
I would really appreciate any help understanding what might be going on, why it is happening, whether it will go away, how long recovery might take, if it could happen again, and what I can do to help the healing process. Any advice or information would mean a lot right now!!
