Tips To Get Rid Of Fat Lips
In order to take care of a fat lip, the best thing to do is to first try and get a handle on why you have a fat lip. This will help because it will allow you to use the appropriate remedy for the problem. If the fat lip has come about as a result of some sort of an injury, this can be addressed differently than if it has come about due to, say, an insect bite. If there has been a swelling due to being hit by something, then the first thing that needs to be addressed is the swelling. Applying ice packs frequently till the swelling subsides can control it. For the first 24 hours, this is the best remedial measure. After that, you should switch to applying warm hot packs. This will help the inflammation from within to subside easily. This is not a very commonly recommended remedy, but it certainly does work. It may sting a bit, so it is good to be prepared for that. Also, please keep in mind that it is inadvisable to apply warm or hot packs to an area that has a cut in it. The cut can actually worsen if heat is applied.
If there are cuts accompanying a fat lip, then these can be healed with a paste made from turmeric powder and clarified butter. Apply and keep this on for as long as it takes for the cut to heal over and stop bleeding. One of the best remedies to use to help with healing a fat lip is application of aloe vera gel. This will be extremely soothing and at the same time will also help with healing. Please do not apply this to the inside of the mouth, no matter how bad your injury is. Honey is also extremely useful in helping to soothe the swollen area. The best part about using honey is that it can also be used inside the mouth. Once the lip begins to heal, please do not be alarmed if the skin begins to turn yellow, as this is usually the first sign of healing. Once this happens, you can also massage the area slightly with mustard oil. Mustard oil has some really good healing properties that can help with healing damaged skin and scar tissues. Scar tissues are what form when there is an injury and a resultant scar.
