Diagnosis Checklist: Questions your doctor may ask (and why!)
During a consultation, your doctor will use various techniques in their assessment of Lip paresthesias.
Your doctor may ask several questions when assessing
your condition. It is important to remember that your consultation is a two-way process and any extra information

- Is paresthesia limited to lips? - e.g. Raynaud's phenomenon also causes sequential discoloration of the digits from pallor to blueness to redness upon exposure to cold. When fingers and toes become red they are painful and sometimes feel numb.
- Past history of cold sores (Herpes simples type 1 lesions) on the lips?
- Past medical history? - e.g. hypocalcemia may be caused by acute pancreatitis, chronic renal failure, DiGeorge's syndrome, hypoparathyroidism; possible causes of Raynaud's phenomenon include rheumatoid arthritis, lupus erythematosus, systemic sclerosis, polyarteritis nodosa, Buerger's disease, polycythaemia, leukemia, polymyositis , dermatomyositis; hypoparathyroidism is associated with pernicious anemia, Addison's disease, hypothyroidism.
