I woke up this morning and I looked in the mirror, and I saw this weird area on the corner of my lips that was white. It's an odd texture, and the skin of my lip (both inside and outside) has turned a blue-ish white. My first thought is that it's just extremely dry, but my lips weren't dry last night, and I don't know how it's possible that the corner of my mouth was open while I slept. Please help! It's a little weird. Please, no mean answers.

It's only my lip, not my fingers or anywhere else! It's only on the corner of my lips, on the inside AND outside of the lips. It doesn't hurt either. Is it possible that I was breathing out of that corner of my mouth all night? Help!

There's only two reasons I can think of why the corner of your lip would turn white and both involve some sort of tissue damage.
Think back - did you bite you lip by accident? Sometimes we forget about it after the initial pain is gone, but the bite was severe enough to break the skin. If that's the case just be sure to rinse your mouth with Listerine a couple of times (yes it will sting but it will help) and you'll be fine in a day or two.
The other reason might be that you're developing a cold blister. You don't have to necessarily have a cold to develop a cold blister (misleading misnomer), sometimes they just show up (usually before a big date or you annual family portrait). If you think it's a cold blister, again keep your mouth clean by rinsing with Listerine and try an over the counter product like Blistex to keep the area soft and comfortable.
You mouth is one of the fastest healing parts of your body so if this remains a problem for more than a few days I would definitely suggest seeing your doctor about it.

i'm no longer sure this would probable assist you as yours looked like a one time ingredient. yet will be it will help some different person. My 20 year historic had a situation inclusive of his eco-friendly and blue shirts turning orange with the help of the neck and interior the back and chest. He change into once getting quite ticked off about it and we were wondering why it simplest surpassed off to him and something individuals did no longer have the placement. We use a similar pc even as he's position of residing from college etc. it seems it change into once from the benzole peroxide wash that he change into once making use of on his chest and back. probable this would help any man or woman. You did not change into attentive to at after carrying it -- it shown up after the wash change into performed.

The blue-ish white has me a little concerned. Sounds like a lack of oxygen. If I was you I would check your toes and fingertips to see if they are the same color. If they are get to a Dr. A.S.A.P. !
