Previous Treatment and Effects: None.
What kind of help is needed: I want to know what caused this and how to resolve and treat it.
Doctor's answer:
There are two reasons for pale lips, one is external causes, which is due to the excessive thickening of the lip's stratum corneum. The other is an internal cause, related to multiple organs such as the heart, lungs, liver, and blood. Additionally, it can be caused by poor digestion.(1) Don't take pale lips lightly; seek medical attention immediately. First, visit the cardiology department.
(2) It is recommended that you at least go to a hospital like ours, a Class III-A grade-A hospital.
(3) You should consider many of your other symptoms, such as how you feel after intense exercise, your deep sleep conditions, your dietary habits. Has there been any cardiovascular inflammation in your family?
