Thanks for getting back so soon! I have not been diagnosed with any cancer…just concerned that my lip is not healing. It’s been a month of swollen, red, and sore bottom of lip.

Having a sore lip for a month is certainly frustrating for you. Is it the entire lip or just an area such as a cold sore?

You mentioned having taken 3 different antifungal meds. Were these prescription drugs specifically aimed at the sore lip? These would be given if there is a herpes simplex virus. Is that what your doctor suspected?

I’m posting a link to our Mayo Clinic website that describes cold sores.

Is this the type of sore are you’re experiencing?
