Swollen lower lip, kissing cause?!
Question: Well, last Thursday(4 days ago), I was doing ALOT of french kissing with my b/f. Then, the next day, my top lip was(and still is) all cracked, and my uper lip was really swollen(not that bad now..), I'd just like to know the cause, is having a reaction to the lip gloss I used(I used alot of that too...) more likely why? Please help, I'd really appreciate any answers.

The cracking is just due to all that saliva you were swapping. It is the same as if you lick your lips to often it will dry them out. As for the swelling, it is due to the constant suction on the lips, which causes the tiny capillaries in your lips to burst and swell. I doubt your lip gloss is the cause. Just put some Carmex or Chapstick on and lay off on the smooching for a while.
really over exerted your lips. put some vaseline on them and keep em clean.
You either have an infection or angioedema, likely an infection. The mechanism was most likely a break in the skin that got infected. Kissing could have transferred some bacteria, but this was not likely the cause of the infection.
