ACNE LIKE RASH
Hi doc.. I've noticed some form of acne like looking rash on the anterior part of my upper lip and the insides of one of my cheek.. it is not painful and can only be felt with my tongue which is uncomfortable.. Plus I've had a peppery sensation on my left tonsil which relieves on egestion of spicy foods all this has been on for 3years now plsssssss any solution thanks..
Dr kindd thanks but I've been to d ent surgeon and all he wants to do is yank d tonsil off he says its acute pharyngitis but can't explain the acne like feel on my cheek and lip and am nt comfortable with that.. D rash is not spreading and has remained that way for years now all manner of tests done come up with nothing.. N I think d tonsil and d rash are related..

Hello,
In my opinion these are canker sores. Canker sores are small shallow ulcers that appear in the mouth and often make eating and talking uncomfortable. They are generally caused by Stress, tissue injury, eating certain foods – including citrus or acidic fruits and vegetables or underlying health condition, such as an impaired immune system; nutritional problems, such as vitamin B-12, zinc, folic acid, or iron deficiency; and gastrointestinal tract disease, such as Celiac disease and Crohn's disease.
Pain from a canker sore generally lessens in a few days and the sores usually heal without treatment in about a week or two. Avoid spicy or acidic foods during this time. You can use topical ointments like numbing ointments, such as benzocaine (Oragel), anti-inflammatory (steroid) gels, benadryl allergy liquid mouthwash, oral preparations of steroids and vitamin supplements.
But if the sores last for more than 3 wks or start spreading then please consult a dermatologist. It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
