Hi,
Burning lips may be a case of stomatitis. Stomatitis may be due to a fungal or bacterial infection. Also, it may be due to certain factors like a hypersensitivity reaction to an unknown trigger and nutritional deficiencies.
A microscopic evaluation of the skin scrapings from the lips may help rule out a fungal infection. Have you had blood levels of vitamin B6 and B12 assessed? Also, are there other associated symptoms like tingling or burning sensation of the extremities?
Follow your physician's advice for the vitamins. Eat well and drink plenty of water. Avoid spicy food and hot beverages to avoid further irritation of the lips.
Thanks Vanessa, Yes my Dr. ran test for b12,b6 etc. Results are not back yet.Last B12
level I had was a bit elavated before all this started..Not due to this, a routine level done because I use to have a low level a year ago.I have been on B12 po vit.
I did at one time have the h poloric bacteria.But that was long ago also.Had acid
in my stomach that caused a lot of pain and irratation esp. at night.I was treated for the H.P. and then a Dr. took a spec. from my stomach the H.Poleric was then negative.Reason for the spec was a look to see why I was still hurting.I think it was due to the raw spot after the biopsy.Hurt in one spot.
