my first symptom was thinking my lips were dry, like burning dry so i put on a heavy lip mask and called it a night. the next day the same and these little bumps popped up. i was unable to get to the store since it was late. this morning they spread across my bottom lip.

i’m thinking they’re cold sores but there hasn’t been any weeping or crusting (yet i’m guessing). if anyone has any ideas on treatment, what works what doesn’t it would be appreciated. tyyy

**also since some of you are so concerned about my oral hygiene, i’ll break down my daily routine for you as follows:

- oil pulling 5mins twice/daily

- water floss whole mouth twice/daily

- floss w/expanding floss dipped in hydrogen peroxide for STAINING using a c curve method twice/daily

- interdental brush dipped in toothpaste

- 2 mins brushing w/electric toothbrush

- tongue scrape

- smart mouth whitening mouthwash for 30 seconds

- whitening strips monthly cut in half to avoid enamel sensitivity

i also get dental cleanings every 6 months and my dentist and the hygienists say my teeth and gums look perfect 💅🏽

Hi everyone! I'm 32F from SoCal and have been wanting a rhinoplasty for a while now. I'd really like to get it done in Tijuana.

I've been looking into Dr. Alejandra Pineda because she's both an ENT and a plastic surgeon, and I really love her work. The only issue is that her consultations are booked out until 2028, and my husband and I are hoping to start a family before then, so I'm hoping to find someone with a similar aesthetic who I could see sooner.

I also have breathing issues (pretty sure I have a deviated septum), so finding a surgeon who can address both the functional and cosmetic side is really important to me.

Aesthetically, I'm going for a soft, feminine, refined nose that still looks like my nose. I love natural, balanced results with a smooth bridge and a subtle, defined tip. I really like Madison Beer’s nose. I definitely don't want anything pinched or overly upturned.

Has anyone had a rhinoplasty in TJ that they absolutely loved? I'd love any recommendations (or even surgeons to avoid). If you're comfortable sharing your experience or before and after pics, I would really appreciate it.

is this a cold sore?
