Comprehensive Guide for Treating Lip Allergic Reactions and Post-Procedure Care

If you experience dryness, peeling, and itching on your lips due to an allergic reaction, follow these steps to alleviate the symptoms and promote healing:

  1. Apply Elocon Cream:

    • Use Elocon cream externally.
    • Apply it twice a day for three days to reduce the allergic reaction.
  2. Nightly Application of Dragon's Blood Lip Balm:

    • Use Dragon's Blood lip balm before bedtime.
    • This will keep your lips moisturized and support the healing process.
  3. Oral Loratadine:

    • Take loratadine orally as per the dosage instructions on the package.
    • Continue for three days to manage the allergic reaction from within.

 

Immediate Post-Procedure Care:

  1. Lip Movement:

    • For the first 2-3 hours, move your lips by forming the letters 'R' and 'O'.
    • This helps disperse stabilizers and reduces swelling.
  2. Cleaning:

    • Avoid using tap water and toothpaste initially.
    • Instead, use a saline solution for mouthwash and teeth cleaning.
    • Rinse with saline after meals and avoid touching your lips to prevent infection.
  3. Medications:

    • Follow a post-operative routine with anti-inflammatory medications like ibuprofen and acyclovir.
    • Take antibiotics as prescribed and apply topical disinfectants to prevent infections.
  4. Diet:

    • Avoid spicy and inflammatory foods for a week.
    • Opt for a gentle diet and rinse with saline after eating.
  5. Scab Management:

    • Do not peel scabs; let them fall off naturally to prevent scarring.
  6. Lip Balm:

    • Refrain from applying any lip balm for the first week.
    • Use a soothing, hydrating ointment if lips are dry.

Day-by-Day Lip Repair:

Day 1:

  • Take acyclovir after meals for anti-inflammatory effects.
  • Clean your mouth with a cotton swab and apply neomycin evenly on your lips before sleeping.

Day 2:

  • Use a dry gauze to massage and squeeze areas with swelling gently.
  • Apply iodine or neomycin on the outside of your lips.
  • Continue taking acyclovir and applying neomycin after meals.

Additional Tips:

  • To alleviate tightness, use a damp cotton pad to massage your lips multiple times a day.
  • Make a paste of acyclovir and metronidazole and apply it for ten minutes twice a day.
  • After scabs fall off, use a lip repair solution for 4-5 days.
  • Expect lip color enhancement after 15-60 days; be patient and embrace the transformation!

By following these steps, you can effectively manage allergic reactions and ensure proper healing of your lips.
