I've been dealing with some swelling on my face for the last 23 years, and it's really changed how I look. I'm not really sure why this is happening. What kind of doctor should I see for something like this, and what could be causing it?

Facial swelling can be caused by various reasons such as allergies, infections, hormonal imbalances, or underlying medical conditions. To determine the exact cause and receive appropriate treatment, you should consult a Dermatologist. They specialize in diagnosing and treating skin conditions, including facial swelling. In the meantime, you can take an over-the-counter antihistamine like Cetirizine (10mg) to help reduce swelling caused by allergies.

I'm noticing that my lower lip is usually pink, or sometimes even red, but my upper lip is much darker and doesn't match the lower one at all. It's kinda annoying, and I'm wondering what might be causing this difference. Can you suggest what I could do about it?
To help lighten the color of your upper lip, you can try using a lip lightening cream containing hydroquinone or kojic acid. Apply a thin layer of the cream on your upper lip once or twice a day. Additionally, using a lip balm with SPF can help protect your lips from further darkening due to sun exposure.
