Multiple encounters with impetigo on lips causing damage to lip shape and outline?

December 5, 2016
Asked By:decleirk in Toronto, ON

About 2 years ago I got my first case of impetigo on my lips. I didn't know anything about such an infection at the time as I put various products on it to hopefully get it to go away. About 8 months ago I got it again on my lips, but this time much worse and went to see a doctor who gave me medication for it. I got it AGAIN 2 months ago and had it treated again. But now I notice that my lips are very asymmetrical, a problem I didn't have before. Is this caused by the impetigo?how can I fix it?
