What is bruised lips from kissing?

Bruised lips from kissing occur when the lips are pressed forcefully against each other during a passionate kiss. This can cause small blood vessels in the lips to rupture, leading to bruising and discoloration. The severity of the bruising can range from mild to severe depending on the amount of pressure applied during the kiss. The lips may feel tender, swollen, or painful, and the bruising can take several days to heal. Bruised lips from kissing are not usually a cause for concern and typically resolve on their own with time. However, if the bruising persists or is accompanied by other symptoms such as bleeding, swelling, or difficulty speaking or eating, it is important to seek medical attention. To prevent bruised lips from kissing, it is important to communicate with your partner about the amount of pressure you are comfortable with and to be gentle when kissing to avoid excessive force.
