So I've had this problem since December, and have been to 2 doctors and 2 dermatologists. In decemeber, I randomly had super swollen lips, which easily got chapped, and had dots all over my lips. My children's Doctor though it was herpes, and gave me medication, which did nothing. In March, I went to a dermatologist, and they didn't know what it was, but gave me steroids, and I've used that for a couple of months. The steroid medication made things better temporarily, but Everytime I ate or woke up, my lips would get red, swollen, and the dots would get more noticeable. We decided to go to another dermatologist, and he thought I was allergic to hot, cold, spicy, salty, and sour foods. (So basically everything) He prescribed me allergy medication, but told me to not use the steroid unless I really had to. He never really diagnosed anything. Then, we went to Japan, and decided to check out a doctor there. He prescribed a medication called Protopic, and thought that this happened because of my use of the steroid cream. When I used the Protopic though, my lips got red and would just make it worse. After some research, we found out it was for eczema, and for like, damaged skin? So at this point, no one knows what caused the initial breakout, and are thinking it's the steroid. The dots are the color of my lips, and are located in clumps at the 4 corners of my lips, as well as the very center of my top lip (which is where it usually hurts and get red/slightly swollen) And from the clumps on my bottom lip, it kind of fades out to the center of my bottom lip. It occasionally itches, but when I do end up itching it, I get patches of red and it kinda stings. Also, when I drink water without a straw, and just from a cup, my lips hurt.... When I'm in a humid area, my lips hurt. For some reason though, when I was in Japan, my lips rarely had one of these breakouts, and it was one of the best 2 weeks of my life. If it helps, I'm allergic to dust, grass, cats, and dogs. I own a cat, but that's because I didn't gain my allergies until 3-4 years ago. We're not made with money so we really can't afford any more doctor visits when they're not even giving a diagnosis. I just want this nightmare to end, the dots are so uncomfortable and I'm already an insecure teenager, I hate going to restaurants and eating when people around because I feel so embarrassed.
