rash on lip

by ouch70, Dec 11, 2007 03:40PM
I have a strange rash on my upper lip.  It started with a tingle, turned into small lip colored bumps, never weeped or bled, progressed to seriously scaly,peeling skin, almost healed and just when I though it was over, it is now tingly bumps again.  It has been three weeks.  Help!

are you allergic to anything? i have the same problem and the only thing i can use is carmex or blistex!- mine never tingle though they kind of just come up over night!

I am not allergic to anything that I am aware of...would you believe today it's practically gone again??  It's making me crazy!

No real swelling and no, I haven't changed lipstick or lip balm.  When the bumps first come out and there is a little tingling, I guess my lips look a little puffy in that area but those bumps almost immediately turn into extremely dry skin that no amount of moisture can penetrate.  And here I am again today with the dryest lips I have ever seen and huge pieces of skin peeling off of them.  I am just thankful there is no blood or scabbing over at this point.  I fear this will never go away!!  :(  Thanks for responding!

Hi,

I would suggest you to keep your lips moisturised at all times with a lip balm. Do not let them dry at any time and then see.

I had a similar condition a few months ago - red patches on my lips that would itch and feel like sandpaper, but would be gone in just a couple days, only to come back again. I went to my derm and she said it was eczema (which, I have just about everywhere else, so why not my lips?!). She also said that it can be triggered by chapstick and lip balms (I had only ever used plain chapstick but apparently I was having a reaction to the wax in it or something - I don't know, I seem to develop new allergies every day). SO - she put me on Dr. Dan's Cortibalm (you can find it online), Vaseline and aquaphor lotion. During the day I alternate between the cortibalm and Vaseline instensive care (.99 at Target, it's like a liquid, not a stick) and in the morning and at night I put  on the aquaphor. I haven't had a single rash on my lips since I started doing this. They still get itchy - but at least they aren't broken out and peeling. I was also getting these tiny whitehead breakouts all around my lip line when I had the rash - and that's all gone now too. Good luck!
