✅ What Causes a Lip Pimple?

1. Clogged Pores
   Just like the rest of your face, the skin near your lips has pores. When oil, dead skin, or makeup blocks these pores, pimples can appear.

2. Lip Products
   Some lip balms, glosses, or lipsticks are too oily or heavy. These can clog pores, especially if you don’t wash them off before bed.

3. Touching Your Lips
   Touching your face or lips often transfers bacteria from your hands. This can lead to breakouts.

4. Hormones
   Hormonal changes (like during your period or puberty) can cause breakouts around the mouth and chin.

5. Hair Removal
   Shaving or waxing near the lips can cause bumps or ingrown hairs that look like pimples.

🆘 Pimple or Cold Sore?

Not all bumps on the lip are pimples. Cold sores are caused by a virus and usually tingle or burn before showing up as a blister. If you're unsure, talk to a doctor.

💡 How to Treat a Lip Pimple

• Clean the area gently with warm water and mild cleanser

• Use a tiny amount of acne cream (salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide), but keep it off the actual lips

• Don’t pop it – this can lead to scarring or infection

• Avoid heavy makeup or greasy lip products until it heals

• Use non-comedogenic (non-pore-clogging) lip products

• Avoid touching your lips with dirty hands

• Keep your lips and skin clean and moisturized
