my lips hurt!

[sweetie07]

My lips are normallly very dry... but recently i have found some very small bumps around the edges of them that itch and burn... if i itch them they burn worse... if i put carmex on them they burn. they hurt! there are not clusters of them nor do they have any type of coloration or head on them. it just looks like my lip but i can feel small bumps when i run my finger around the line of my lip. and i can feel the irritation. help!

thanks heather i appreciate it. im thinking the same thing. i bought some almay lip gloss cuz it was on sale..lol well i used it a few days back and ever since then my lips have been so irritated. i have stuck with chapsticks but it seems to be getting worse soo... i think im going to go into urgent care and see what they think. its just so irritated.. burns and itches.. YUCK. and feels so gross. lol but now that i think i know what its from... i feel so much better. lol thanks again!

Could it be an allergic reaction to a lipstick or chapstick you're using?

i just looked in the mirror once again and pushed my lip out with my tounge and did see more than just around the lip line. my bottom lip looks like it has bumps all around the bottom, but all that bothers me is my lip line. and still they are the same color as my lips and do not have "heads" on them. ouch... :( i noticed my lips are a little swollen, but that may also be because i itched at them this morning...
