I understand your concern and fear regarding the burning sensation in your lip after applying magnesium sulphate paste and potential lip cancer. However, I am not a medical professional and cannot diagnose your condition or provide medical advice. It's crucial for you to seek further medical attention from qualified specialists to accurately assess your situation and determine the best course of treatment. Here are some specific recommendations I can make: 1. See a doctor with expertise in lip conditions: consider consulting a dermatologist specializing in oral mucosa or an oral and maxillofacial surgeon. They can perform a thorough examination, including potentially taking a biopsy of the affected area, to determine the cause of the burning sensation and color change. 2. Be transparent about your history: clearly communicate to your doctor the details of the magnesium sulphate paste incident, the burning sensation, color change, and any medications you have tried. This will help them diagnose the problem accurately. 3. Don't self-diagnose: while lip cancer is a possibility, it's important not to jump to conclusions. Many other conditions can cause burning sensations and color changes in the lips. A specialist can differentiate between these and provide appropriate treatment. 4. Avoid further irritants: while waiting for an appointment, avoid any activities or substances that might further irritate your lip, such as spicy foods, alcohol, harsh soaps, or aggressive rubbing. 5. Manage your anxiety: it's understandable to feel anxious about this situation. However, focusing on finding the right specialist and following their recommendations can help alleviate some of your worries. Remember, early diagnosis and treatment are crucial for any potential lip conditions. By seeking professional medical help, you can ensure you receive the proper care and address any underlying issues effectively. Here are some additional resources that may be helpful: the american academy of oral and maxillofacial surgery: url/ the american academy of dermatology: url/ the skin cancer foundation: url/ please take care and prioritize seeking professional medical help for your lip concern.

I understand your concern. Urticaria is a very stressful and troublesome issue. However, it can be treated with prolonged injections and medicines. I would recommend you to physically visit a well known pulmonologist doctor, who have access to biologics or anti histamine injections. Good luck.
