Lips disappearing by the day
I am 27 yrs old, not a smoker, my lips are 100% natural. For the past two weeks, my lips have been getting smaller day by day(I've been taking pictures to keep track), major volume loss, shape change, and dropping on both sides (but one side much greater). The side that is dropping more is also the side that is losing a greater amount of volume. I also had some pain in the jaw muscle on the same side of my face, don't know if it's related or not. What disease/disorder could cause this?

It could be one of the manifestation of systemic sclerosis. need to examine your skin for tightness in other areas like your cheeks, forearm hand,etc. . Sometimes internal organs can also be involved and history taking is important to rule out the involvement. Please get yourself properly examined and assessed. Hope this is helpful.
