Healing time of a lip furuncle

The healing time of a lip furuncle depends on the size, the strength of the body’s own defense system and individual influences. Small lip furuncles can heal within a few days. The stronger the immune system is, the faster the healing occurs.

Furthermore, conscientious hygiene can contribute to a faster healing process. If the immune system is weakened and the lip cannot be sufficiently protected from dust, dirt and stress, the healing process can be delayed. In some cases, healing can take weeks to months.
