Venous Lake - a common vascular pathology, which is a type of angiomas and occurs as a result of significant dilation of blood vessels. The venous lake looks like a dark blue papule, soft to the touch, reaching a diameter of several millimeters.
Rice. 1. Venous lake is often found on the lower lip
Venous lakes are often multiple and are usually found on:
- Ears;
- Face;
- Lips;
- Neck.
More often, venous lakes appear in older and elderly people. The danger of a venous lake is that even a slight injury to its walls can lead to significant and prolonged bleeding.
Rice. 2. Venous lake often occurs as a result of trauma to the lower lip
On microscopic examination, the venous lake appears as a capillary aneurysm. Usually in the dermis it is possible to detect only one dilated vessel (vein or venule), which has very thin fibrous walls and a thin endothelial lining. With thrombosis of the vessels of the venous lake, its strong resemblance to melanoma may be noted, which is noted by many specialists.
A point on the upper lip under the nose. Girls, I found acupressure for facial rejuvenation.
It may still be early for some, but it never hurts.
Point 1. We start the massage from a point in the middle of the forehead to smooth out wrinkles on the forehead. Point 2. A very commonly used point: it is located between the eyebrows in the center of the bridge of the nose, on a vertical line coming from the tip of the nose. This point and another name is “The Third Eye has.” Removes vertical wrinkles on the bridge of the nose. Massaging this point also relieves fatigue and generally improves well-being.
Points 3 are located at the beginning of the eyebrows. Massaging them will help smooth out wrinkles between the eyebrows. Medical indications for her massage: lacrimation, inflammation of the sinuses. Point 4 is a steam room, located one transverse finger above the eyebrow on the pupil line. Massage of this point increases the tone of the frontal muscles. Thus, if you are overcome by sleep (for example, when you are driving), vigorously tap this point for a few seconds and you will feel a surge of energy and the drowsiness will pass. The 5th Points are called “Thread of Bamboo” and are located at the end of the natural line of the eyebrows - this point helps with poor vision and relieves headaches of vascular origin. Note! The impact on points close to the eyes should be directed to the edge of the eye sockets of the skull, that is, the bone should be felt under the finger. Point 6 is located between the top of the ear and the outer end of the eyebrows in the temporal fossa. This is a paired point (that is, it is necessary to act on both pits at the same time. Massage of these points also relieves. - Migraines. - Common headaches. - Excellent in overcoming serious sleep disorders. Points 7 are located in the depression opposite the upper edge of the ear.

Point 10 is located under the chin, where the depression is felt. Stimulates the mental muscles. Point 11 is located under the lower fangs on the chin. Improves skin condition, tones the mental muscle. Point 12. Point 12 is called “Anti-stress” and is located in the center of the inner part of the chin, under the lower lip (pressure should be directed to the chin bone, not to the teeth. In case of fear, high emotional intensity, negative unexpected news, you need to massage this point using pressure with the thumb of your right hand. Points 13 are located: A. under the tip of the nose in the upper third of the vertical groove of the upper lip - tone the orbicularis oris muscle and smooth out wrinkles around the lips. The Chinese called this point the “Middle of Man” point. Massage of the point is recommended for swelling of the face and nervous tics in the eyes and mouth. Massaging this point is also effective in cases of fainting, shock, or hysterical attack. B. in the center under the lower lip. Massaging this point removes wrinkles around the lips (pressure should be directed to the chin bone, not to the teeth). Honey. Indications: it is massaged for swelling of the face, toothache (in the lower jaw). One index finger is placed above the upper lip (along), and the second - under the lower lip and pressed intensely (10 times. Point 14 is a pair and they are located just above the corners of the mouth. Impact on these points activates the muscles that lift the corners of the mouth. Points 15 are located above the upper lip under the nostrils (the middle between the nose and upper lip) and massaging them will help prevent the appearance of wrinkles around the mouth. Points 16 are paired, located at the wings of the nose, the very beginning of the nasolabial triangle. Massage them and smooth out the nasolabial folds. Points 17 are located on both sides the midline of the nose (axis of symmetry), at a distance of two fingers above the base of the eyebrow at the level of the “Tear Sac” (at the inner corners of the eyes. Acupressure of this area will help get rid of bags under the eyes and swelling of the eyelids. Also, massage of this point helps with a runny nose, sinusitis, enhances visual acuity. Eliminates excessive eye strain and fatigue (one of the most common causes of headaches. Using the pads of your thumbs, slide under the eyebrows to this point and press upward. Any painful area in this area should be treated with your thumbs. Point 18 is called the “Beauty Point” and is located on the zygomatic arch approximately under the pupils, under the middle of the eye sockets, on the upper part of the cheekbone (a small depression can be felt in place of the point. Massage of these points preserves the youth and beauty of the skin of the face. Impact on each point for cosmetic purposes should not exceed 8 seconds. The total time of acupressure massage will take you no more than 5 minutes. This massage is convenient to perform in the morning before washing. Only if painful sensations are present, you should definitely contact a specialist in acupressure massage, as this may indicate serious deviations in the functioning of internal organs.
Acupressure facial massage is not recommended in the following cases: There is damage to the skin. Facial massage is not recommended in the presence of burns, wounds, pustular lesions and inflammatory processes, as it can injure tissues recovering from damage. Viral and infectious diseases. Massage procedures are contraindicated in acute viral and fungal diseases and any infectious manifestations, including acute inflammation of the facial nerve. Failure to comply with these restrictions may lead to an exacerbation of these diseases. Presence of malignant tumors. Massage procedures are not recommended in the presence of cancer of any location, as well as blood diseases. Failure to comply with these restrictions may lead to the spread of the tumor process through the lymph and bloodstream to other tissues. Specificity of the skin. Rejuvenating massage procedures are not recommended for excess hair growth, increased bleeding and rosacea, as they can irritate the facial skin and cause persistent redness.
Points on the human body for massage. Classification of biologically active points
There are 365 energy points (“ki”) on the human body. They are located along guide lines - meridians passing through all human organs. There are only 14 classical meridians; 12 paired and 2 unpaired. In addition to them, there are 8 more “miraculous” and 15 secondary meridians.
Vital energy “qi” circulates along the meridians in a continuous flow. If the smooth flow of energy is interrupted, then, according to traditional Chinese medicine, a person finds himself at the mercy of ailments. By influencing biologically active points (BAP), you can remove the obstacle to vitality and rid the human body of disease.
By pressing on a point, the massage therapist affects not only a specific area of the skin, but also, from the point of view of Eastern medicine, the organs associated with it or the entire body as a whole. For example, to relieve fatigue, you can press on a point located on the skin between your widely spaced index fingers and thumb.
The following types of points are distinguished:
- general action (by pressing on them, the massage therapist influences the functioning of the central nervous system);
- segmental points (affects the organs associated with them);
- spinal (located along the spine and affect a specific organ);
- regional (located on the skin - where the internal organs are projected onto it);
- local points (located in joints, ligaments, muscles).
According to clinical and physiological studies, these points absorb oxygen more actively than neighboring zones, they are more sensitive to pain, are characterized by increased sweating, relatively low electrical resistance and an increased level of metabolism.
What is the distance between the nose and upper lip called? philtrum
For humans and most primates (except the philtrum), the philtrum is the vestigial medial depression between the nose and upper lip. It is in this place that the parts of a person’s face are connected during the development of his embryo in the second or third month of pregnancy. When this process occurs abnormally, a person develops a so-called “cleft lip.” A flattened philtrum is one of the symptoms of fetal alcohol syndrome and Prader-Willi syndrome.
In most mammals, the philtrum is a narrow slit through which moisture, due to the capillarity of the surface, reaches the nose, thereby keeping it moist. This helps determine the location of odor sources.
- Filter in humans
Filtrum in a dog
In some cultures, there are legends and myths telling about the appearance of this cavity in humans, in particular in the Jewish and Carpatho-Rusyn.
Point under the nose. Rejuvenating points on the face
Each pressure is applied for 5 to 10 seconds. When exposed, you should feel warmth, a slight tingling sensation, pain is excluded. It is carried out with the thumb and forefinger, paired points are activated simultaneously.
Points on the face for rejuvenation:
- The area in the center of the bridge of the nose helps smooth out vertical creases between the eyebrows and increases energy potential.
- Paired points at the beginning of eyebrow growth relieve eye fatigue and normalize lymphatic drainage. Activation is effective in combating puffiness and drooping eyelids.
- Impact on paired points at the beginning of the inner corner of the eye near the wings of the nose relieves eye strain and restores blood flow. Massage helps strengthen the thin muscles of the lower eyelid, improves skin condition, and is effective against bags and bruises under the eyes.
- The points at the end of the natural eyebrow growth line help tighten the corner of the outer eye and cope with crow's feet. Activation improves general condition, relieves fatigue and headaches.
- The points, located a centimeter to the temporal lobes from the outer corner of the eye, help improve microcirculation of the skin of the eyelids and lymph outflow. As a result of self-massage, a network of small wrinkles is smoothed out, and it is possible to lift the drooping line of the corner of the eye, which is observed with age.
- Paired points are located on the growth boundary line parallel to the tip of the ear. The effect allows you to tighten the oval and prevents the eyebrow line from shifting.
- Paired points located under the pupils in the center of the cheekbone are responsible for an even, beautiful tone. They allow you to refresh color, maintain elasticity, accelerate the synthesis of collagen and elastin.
- Paired points near the auditory canal of the ear, in the fossa of the junction of the upper and lower jaw. The effect helps to cope with jowls and create beautiful sculpted cheekbones.
- Paired points on the corners of the lower jaw allow you to create a beautiful line of the lower part of the oval, tighten the muscles, get rid of the double chin, and reduce the cheeks.
- A point one centimeter below the upper lip in the center of the chin stimulates metabolic processes and activates the outflow of lymph.
- Working on paired points at the corners of the mouth helps to lift them up and smooth out facial vertical wrinkles. The effect promotes visual rejuvenation, as if after injections of fillers.
- The point under the nose, above the upper lip, is in the center of the groove. The vital zone helps to recover from fainting, cope with nervous tension, and hysteria. Massage has a positive effect on general muscle relaxation and reduction of swelling.
- Paired points at the nostrils of the nose allow you to smooth out wrinkles in the nasolabial triangle and restore the elasticity of the area around the mouth.
- Paired points above the wings of the nose also eliminate nasolabial wrinkles and tighten the lower part of the oval.
- In the dimple of the chin on the cheekbone, blood circulation and lymph outflow are activated. Massage helps get rid of jowls, a double chin, and creates a beautiful, clear line of the lower part of the oval.
Fractional laser resurfacing
According to patient reviews, laser resurfacing is comparable in effectiveness to surgical correction of purse-string wrinkles, while it is easily tolerated and does not carry the risk of serious complications. With fractional laser rejuvenation, the effect is on the deep layers of the skin. Moreover, unlike continuous resurfacing, the laser beam removes small microtubules of the skin only in certain areas. The result is the same as with continuous exposure, but the risk of side effects is reduced and recovery is accelerated. Modern equipment makes it possible to accurately dose the impact for the best result. After laser resurfacing:
- regeneration processes are activated in the deep layers of the skin;
- fibroblasts are activated;
- stimulates the production of your own elastin and collagen;
- metabolic processes in the skin are activated.
All these processes continue for another six months. The recommended course is 3-4 procedures, they are carried out under local anesthesia, the recovery period is 5-7 days. Laser radiation is safe for humans and does not have even remote consequences.
The groove above the upper lip. Facial physiognomy -> philtrum
As noted above, the human face consists of a great variety of characteristics other than the Five Essential Features. These include FA-LIN, or cheek lines running from the wings of the nostrils to the corners of the lips, and moles, and a beard. Each of these relatively minor features must be taken into account in a complete analysis. Indeed, without examining these features, reading a face will be incomplete and incorrect. Between the tip of the nose and the upper lip, position 51, there is a place that Chinese physiognomists call the philtrum. The length of the groove determines longevity. The width of the groove tells whether a person will be childless or, if he has children, how many. The adjectives “deep”, “shallow”, “flat” are also used to describe the groove. Metaphorically speaking, a deep groove is like a channel in which water can flow without overflowing its banks. Most people have a shallow groove and if it is uneven, then the water overflows its banks. A flat groove, being in the worst shape, cannot hold any water at all, as it has a poor shape, a flat bottom and unclear banks. The ideal groove is wide, long and deep. Predicts prosperity. If the groove is narrow and shallow, then this means that the person has faced serious obstacles, his life will be full of need and poverty. A full and flat philtrum means that the person is prone to misfortune. A straight groove, narrow at the top but wide at the bottom, indicates this. that a person will have many descendants. A rhomboidal philtrum, narrowed at the top and bottom, but wide in the middle, indicates difficulties with children, and in many cases, a serious illness. A flat, shallow groove at the top and base is a sign of childlessness or a small number of children. If this place is deep and long, then this indicates longevity. Accordingly, if the groove is small and short, then this means a short life. If the groove is contoured incorrectly or curved, then its owner is not trusted among friends. If the groove is straight and sloping, then it means good luck and long life. If the groove is intersected by a wrinkle, then, apparently, the person will die childless. However, if the philtrum becomes flat gradually, disappearing very close to the upper lip, this is a bad sign. Such a person will not only not have children, but by the end of his life he will be left without funds. A groove that is wide at the top and narrow at the base indicates that the person is doomed to hard work and poverty. If the philtrum extends widely over a thick lip, then this is a sign of lust. If a young female's philtrum is wide at the base, creating an "inverted effect", then this is a sign of unluckiness. Such people usually do not achieve their goals in life. However, in old age, such a groove, on the contrary, is a sign of good luck. If the groove is too short, then this characterizes an unrestrained, hot-tempered, selfish, overbearing person. Typically, such people cannot hold a job for a long time and are more successful in independent work. Women of this type are not suitable for an independent career, and it is best for them to get married. An unusually short philtrum compared to the Five Essential Traits is a sign of early death. Since the groove is designated as position 51, it is likely that such a person will die before reaching 51 years of age.
Lip augmentation
This is a technique for filling purse-string wrinkles with fillers based on hyaluronic acid. Special gel preparations compact the deep layers of the skin and form a “cushion” under areas of constant folding of the skin. Thanks to the gel, the “bottom” of the fold rises, and it becomes less noticeable and deep.
Dense fillers are not used because they can cause hypercorrection, that is, bulges at the injection sites. Soft gels are used, so with very active facial expressions, it is better to combine the technology with the injection of botulinum toxin.
Lipofilling can also be performed - filling purse-string wrinkles with the patient’s own fat. This technique is characterized by increased safety, because the biomaterial is completely compatible with the body, it is not rejected, and does not cause an allergic reaction. The injection technique is similar to the use of other fillers.
Tubercle of the upper lip. Lump on the inside of the lip
Typically, bumps on the lips are benign formations that are not dangerous, but cause discomfort. They occur mainly on the inside of the lip and in most cases disappear over time on their own, unless it is a serious disease. If this condition is chronic and does not go away, then you should worry.
Causes
There are several possible reasons for the formation of bumps inside the lip.
Mucosal cyst
Most often, the lump on the inside of the lip is a mucous cyst (mucocele), which is a bubble filled with fluid. The color can range from bluish to lilac or pinkish.
A mucous cyst can form as a result of the suction of the mucous membrane of the lip between the teeth; in this case, one cyst usually appears on the lower lip closer to the teeth.
Large and small mucous cysts (mucoceles)
Mucoceles are usually painless, there is no harm from them, except for a feeling of discomfort, and they can sometimes even last until the end of life if they are not removed.
Such a bubble can be located on the palate, the mucous membrane of the tongue and on the inside of the cheeks.
Lip injury
A cyst can form on the inside of the lip due to repeated trauma, such as punching the lips, multiple or aggressive piercings, lip biting, etc.
Blisters, sores or sores, which may be painful, also occur as a result of psychological suffering and stress, and disappear after a few days if the stress is overcome. In this case, to speed up healing, you should exclude spicy or salty foods from your diet.
Reaction to medications
Medicines can affect the tissues of the mouth in such a way that some people may end up with bumps on their lips. For example, it is relatively common for an aspirin tablet to burn and then cause a blister to appear.
Infections in the mouth
Bacteria or yeast pathogens can, under certain favorable conditions, cause an infection in the mouth or intestines.
Other causes and risk factors
- Aphthous stomatitis infections
- Fibroma
- Burns in the mouth from chemicals such as alkalis
- Lip piercing
Are bumps on the inside of the lip dangerous?
Mouth lumps that do not go away or lesions that do not heal may indicate a serious illness.
How long have you been smoking, chewing tobacco or drinking alcohol? Oral cancer is a dangerous disease, some risk factors are as follows:
- HPV infection in the oral cavity.
- Alcohol addiction and chewing tobacco
- Excessive tanning
- Mutations and inherited DNA defects
Cancer can be prevented if signs are detected early.
Diagnosis should be carried out when you or a doctor suspects the presence of a disease. Many clinical presentations have revealed the presence of a painless lump in the mouth along with other symptoms of oral cancer.
White bumps on the inside of the lip or clear blisters
White bumps on the lips may mean that a sore or ulcer is about to appear. Sometimes they appear as clear blisters and then develop into typical ulcers. Mouth pain is a clear symptom of an ulcer.
In many cases, mouth ulcers are cured once the causes are eliminated.
Traditional treatment
A lump on the inside of the lip is usually harmless, but is annoying enough to ignore. Depending on the cause, it may soon go away on its own after some time. But more often, in order to get rid of such formation, it is necessary to resort to certain methods of treatment.
Injections
If the bumps cause inflammation of the mucous membrane, corticosteroid injections will ease the symptoms.
Cryotherapy
Can cryotherapy cure lip bumps? This procedure can get rid of them, but only in some cases, because it is usually not used for these purposes. With this treatment, liquid nitrogen freezes formations that are not amenable to other methods of therapy.
Patients should be aware that this treatment may result in blistering.
Laser treatment
Laser surgery is more effective and less dangerous because... There are no side effects with this treatment. This therapy is recommended for patients with lip lumps that come and go, such as a mucosal cyst.
Surgery
A superficial incision is a common method for removing lumps or growths that may recur. This eliminates mucous cysts and fibroids in the mouth.
After surgery, patients should continue normal oral care except for the first two days, when lip movement should be minimal. And during the first two weeks, nutrition should consist of soft food and drink.
This method is very effective, affordable and minimally disrupts the lip tissue. However, the problem may return. In addition, surgery is likely to be required if the disease turns out to be serious.
Home Remedies
These are common folk remedies for treating or alleviating illness. Some natural ingredients may only be used on certain lip lesions.
Sea salt
This is an effective natural treatment for benign tumors such as mucous cyst. You need to prepare a warm solution and rinse your mouth, then spit it out.
Yogurt
In addition to providing the body with vitamins, you can use plain, additive-free yogurt to relieve discomfort in the mouth.
Castor oil
Castor oil soothes the burning sensation in the mouth from wounds. You need to apply a few drops of castor oil to the formations on the inside of the lower lip.
Tea tree oil
Mix ½ teaspoon of tea tree with 1 spoon of honey and apply the mixture on your lip with bumps overnight.
Ice
Apply a few pieces of ice to the bumps and let them melt on your lips to relieve mouth pain.
Diagnostics
If a light triangle above the lip occurs regardless of periods of solar activity, it is recommended to consult a doctor to determine the cause of this phenomenon. Using the diagnostics performed, you can identify it and eliminate it. The following tests are prescribed:
- assessment of testosterone production;
- determining the level of estrogen, estradiol, progesterone to determine possible disturbances in the menstrual-ovulatory cycle;
- confirmation or denial of conception;
- liver tests to confirm or refute abnormalities in the functioning of the organ;
- ultrasound examination of the liver and thyroid gland;
- general urine analysis;
- determination of cortisol levels;
- hormonal studies of thyroid function.
Thanks to laboratory and instrumental studies, it is possible to identify hormonal imbalances and diseases of the digestive system and prescribe appropriate treatment. After completing the course of therapy, the light area may disappear on its own.
