itching and swore lips
by Tracey71, Aug 18, 2009 09:47PM
Hi My lips have been swore for about 2 months (around the time that my son was born). I have been applying vaseline and now they have started to itch, especially around the bottom edge. My Dr thinks it's allergys (allergies) but is unsure. Also I'm nursing my baby so have to be careful on what I can take. Any advice would be much appreciated

Firstly,It can be due to vit B deficiency.Take some vitamin B complex for some days and see if your symptoms improve.
Secondly,it can be due to atopic dermatitis or eczema("Atopic" refers to a group of diseases where there is often an inherited tendency to develop other allergic conditions, such as asthma and hay fever). Cheilitis(Inflammation of the skin on and around the lips)is often seen in atopic dermatitis.Diagnosed by bld test like RAST.Treatment is by topical steroids or oral therapy of corticosteroids in severe cases.Topical creams like tacrolimus ointment (Protopic) and pimecrolimus cream (Elidel) are also useful.But please consult a dermatologist as you are nursing a baby and you cannot take these medicines without prescription.
I hope it helps.Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing or if you have any additional doubts.kind regards.
