Hello,
Severe stress can trigger eczema as well as canker sores on the lips. Canker sores are small shallow ulcers that appear in the mouth and often make eating and talking uncomfortable.
They are generally caused by Stress, tissue injury, eating certain foods – including citrus or acidic fruits and vegetables or underlying health condition, such as an impaired immune system; nutritional problems, such as vitamin B-12, zinc, folic acid, or iron deficiency; and gastrointestinal tract disease, such as Celiac disease and Crohn's disease.

Thank you. The bump that I was telling you about is healing very quickly. I still getting the morning swelling and a slight rash. But I have noticed that since I have reduced the stress in my life I am seeing improvement. It seems like overnight its getting better. The swelling goes away a lot quicker and the rashes aren't so bad anymore and are reducing over time. Do you think that this whole thing could have be a reaction to severe stress?
Hello,
This lump can be a small cyst, hematoma, mucocele (if present on the inside of lower lip) or a benign growth of the lips. Since the lump is painless and not changing in size, all these possibilities need to be evaluated.
Even from the symptom of dryness of skin, eczema should be ruled out. Eczema is a form of chronic dermatitis (rash).Allergic reaction is one of the important causes of eczema. Allergic reaction can occur to strong soaps, Solvents, chemicals, certain foods, food additives, plants, metals, cosmetics, even urine and faeces of some animals (dust mites).
