I felt like I got an ant bit on my lip, srugged it off "whatever" a while later I looked in the mirror and I can and still am able to just SEE it getting LARGER!

This is freaking me out! I called somebody I know whos a nurse and they said just take some benadryl and you should be fine. I'm freaking out!

My lip feel like its about to BURST OPEN! It also tingles and kinda burns. I'm really scared!

Its to late at night to go to a DR, but I really want to see my DR and KNOW that somebody "trained" has looked at it and can give me an idea to why my lip looks like donald duck this is freakin' wierd!

Also, MODS, if there is a more approriate place for this post, please move it! This is the only place I could find that is sorta makes sense to put this post! Thanks

Take some benedryl and put some cortizone on it. If you start to feel short of breath or anything go to the ER right away, as you could be having a severe allergic reaction.

I took benadryl and some cortizone type cream. I woke up this morning and its gone down signifianly. But you can tell it was really swollen, and it still is a little bit. But i'm off to take some mroe benadryl.

Thats called giant hives which is a deep under the skin swelling. You are allergic to something.

I would say an allergic reaction as well, but I havn't be around anything odd. Which is really wierd. I can't find anything on the net that looks similar to my lip.

It doesn't itch, or anything, so i'm not sure how its hives :/ Cuz arn't hives itchy? Just really wierd. I search "hives" and "giant hives" and "types of hives" on AOL I didn't see anything. BUt i'llkeep trying.
