Have a look at the photo, I have had this rash around my lips on and off for 2 years. It is around my lips 6/7 days of the week. It's sometimes dry, sometimes itchy because of irritation, It's sometimes more red or more pink some days. Certain things I eat such as citrus foods sometimes set it off and make it more red and have a burning sensation. I use my exma cream as a treatment on the rash because it soothes and makes the redness appear less red. I get cold sores once every 2-3 months (It might have a connection, it might not I don't know). I have been to dermatologists, doctors and my have even asked my dentist what it could be and they all don't know what it is. I have dry skin and get exma on my arms but the exzma cream doesn't help 100%. I just want a name for this rash, and a treatment to get rid of it 100%! Are there are creams or anything that could fix my problem? Thank you for taking the time to read this :)
You can get a patch test to locate the allergen, generally citrus group.
Sunscreens do help if there is a photosensitivity component.
Cheers.
