"Sick"

I have not been sick for a long time and today is the first time I took MC for work!

For what u might wonder? Fever, cough, flu? None of such!

Its my mouth!! Today I could sense the my mouth area is getting worse due to redness and itchiness. I went to the doc and he says it not simply cold sore. It's something else. Allergy or wat which he cannot specify. He gives me oral medication and cream to apply and said that I might need to consult a skin specialist if it never gets better!
Oh my god! It sounds serious and indeed, it looks serious too.

My lips area is very pain and dry and itchy. Can U imagine this combination of distress it is causing me? It is affecting me and causing me alot of discomfort. Eating or talking. Anything that requires the use of mouth. I am so frustrated. It has been 3 weeks and recently the condition has been the worst. The redness has spread to outside the lip area. That's why I have decided to see the doc after self-medication has proven to be ineffective.

Can't believe this is happening to me. Something to the lips that I never thought would happen. Something that I have taken granted for. I really wish I will get well very soon. I still need to work next week. Canot afford to take long leave as I still have alot of things that I have to clear at work. Even contemplating to go to work tmr with my ugly lips to clear my work.

Feel so ugly and helpless and distrssed by the agony this dunno what lip condition has been giving me. AAAHHHH.
