What causes swelling & sores in chin?
Patient: hi my mother has a acutely swollen face under chin and along jaw line.pussy boil like sores have developed out of the swelling and she has a black line down the middle of her tongue. the swelling directly under the chin is the size of a golf ball and similarly shaped. doctor says it may be a form of herpes, symptoms getting worse, finding it hard to breath Doctor: Hello!Welcome to Ask a Doctor service!Regarding your concern, I would explain that her symptoms could be related to a hematoma in this region (bleeding) or local infection. For this reason, I would recommend consulting with an ENT specialist and performing a CT scan or MRI of this region (neck and head). Hope you will find this answer helpful!Kind regards, Dr. Ilir Sharka, Cardiologist
