    Blood Vessel
AI Thread Summary
A user described an incident where they created a vacuum with a cup on their mouth, resulting in redness and small red dots on their lips. This condition, identified as petechiae, resembles bruising and can take time to heal. Responses indicated that the healing duration varies based on the severity of the injury and individual healing rates, with mild cases potentially resolving in two days, while more severe cases could take up to two weeks. The discussion also included light-hearted comments about the situation.

Just like a bruise, it will take a while to go away.

It depends on the severity of the bleed and your body's ability to heal a bruise. I have had mild petechial hemorrhages with a stomach virus that cleared within two days. If your lips are very red and there is very little space between the petechiae then it could take up to two weeks to resolve.
