What causes red lips?
SOME red lips are genetic and are hard to do away with. Others may be caused by inflammation of the softer membranes of the body like the eyes, ears, lips, intestines, mouth and private parts.
Dear Doctor,
I have red lips and want them to heal. I also want to gain weight. What can I do?

Red lips occur after there is inflammation and the ulcers of the lips (apthous) remain below the skin surface. The ulcers can be caused by bacterial or fungal infections, and low immunity.
The lips can be cured by using antifungal and antibiotics. Do you really need to gain weight? If you are not underweight and you eat well, you are probably naturally small.
If you decide to eat a lot of sugars and oil in a bid to gain weight, you will accumulate a lot of cholesterol and put your health at risk.
