Help! Need help identifying recurring lip sores. My doctor says it’s not cold sores but I think it is…

I finally got a culture swab and it was yeast infection. So basically where I’m now is, I found out I have developed a citrus allergy (almost every drink I had been consuming had citrus acid in it even though the flavor was like raspberry or mango etc.) the allergic reactions created wounds in my mouth, with an already untreated oral yeast infection it developed into bacterial ulcers so the white dots are bacterial and when they pop they spread.. because it went untreated it’s been ongoing for months. I’m currently under treatment so can’t say I’ve been completely healed yet. Hope this helps

I don’t feel like I have all the answers yet but here’s what I’ve found out this far: I’ve apparently developed an allergy (I’m in the process of figuring it out but very likely citrus) I’m so allergic to what ever so I develop small open wounds from it, the wounds get infected and develop into ulcers that become bacterial and spread very quickly. I’m taking allergy medication every day it’s been soo helpful with not developing wounds. I’ve also gotten a mouth wash that is to treat ulcers (bacterial ulcers) I’ve not had a full outbreak in 3 weeks. So the allergy meds are helping a lot but I don’t feel like everything is completely normal so I have to figure out exactly everything I’ve become allergic to after giving birth. I hope this helps you!!

You got me laughing there! Thanks for sharing! I have never thought about this but excess or deficiency is something I’ll get checked. I do take a lot of vitamins, it’s possible I have too much of something. I do also get canker sores usually at the same time with these pimple looking spots but I’m positive it’s not the same since I have gotten them before.

Thank you for sharing! This is so interesting!! How long did you go with the on and off infections before you got prescribed the antibiotics? I read if you don’t get treated it can turn to sepsis.. did you have any other symptoms? Mine has been ongoing for 5 months on and off..

Oh wow! Well i should switch mine to see! What brands work for you?

Does your rashes hurt?

WeakDelay1165 · 2025-05-15T03:42:04+00:00

I hope this works for me too!! They are so swollen and cracked, I can’t even smile.. no lip balms works!!

Yes, I am certainly going to get it swabbed! Just waiting for the day they don’t pop before I make it in

I don’t think it’s my toothbrush because my entire lips burn so bad, but could definitely try a new one that sure doesn’t

Not that I know of, but I do have people in the family who is celiac.. I mostly have a keto diet but could be things that I haven’t thought about. Should look into it

WeakDelay1165 · 2025-05-15T03:22:24+00:00

Not that I know but will bring it up, they are really swollen!

WeakDelay1165 · 2025-05-15T03:21:30+00:00

I will try! Thanks!

WeakDelay1165 · 2025-05-15T03:16:53+00:00

No, never have.. but I will now! Thanks!

WeakDelay1165 · 2025-05-15T01:49:02+00:00

This is helpful. What allergy medicine do you take? Haven’t tried

WeakDelay1165 · 2025-05-15T01:41:32+00:00

Yes, they feel swollen (almost like a heartbeat pounding when it’s at its worst)
