Itching and Bumps on My Lips

Dry scaly itchy lips Post By Claire (Guest Post) (11/28/2008) For the past 3 months continually I have dry scaly lips, it starts with this hardening around the edges and spreads all over, so horrible, then the whole lot flakes off. My lips recover for roughly a week then it starts all over again! I've tried using different chap sticks but doesn't make any difference. Any ideas, really fed up!

These didn't help in fact the ointment made it worse. He said it may hve been an allergic reaction to lip gloss but didn't rule out fever blisters. My lips had been getting worse until I picked up a bottle of Wild Turkey Bourbon called American Honey for a Thanksgiving recipe and thought I would sip on it to see what it would do to my lips (I was desperate by this point). It instantly worked within two hours. It began killing the blisters. I had cracked dry lips and they were even oozy and swollen. The bourbon gave a little burn at first but after letting it wash over my lips when I continued to sip, it completely began killing the blisters. My lips felt smooth after two hours. Crazy!

What could this be?

However it seems when I itch them they get even worse! Also my lip line will like extend really high and my lips will look really gross like they were stung by a bee. I don't no but it seems every time I go into my houses pool I get it and hour or two later. Could it be possible I'm allergic to chlorine?

How do I get rid of the swelling? What ingredients in lipstick causes this? HELP!

I know its allergies going through boxes of tissue, etc, but the itching lips is the big problem.

I think the other is called perioral cheilitis. Look it up. The thing that helped me was calendula cream or ointment. Get it in the health food store. Put it on often and eventually the symptoms go away. It was the only thing that worked. Also keep lips moist with lip balm. The best one is made with shea butter and it called karite gold. Google it and order it. Now I can wear lipstick again. It was a nightmare when I had it. The calendula and lip balm helped. Sleep with the calendula cream or gel, and keep reappling all day. I also eliminated anything with sodium lauryl sulfate and flouride. I attributed my cheilitis to either a lipstick allergy or toothpaste. it is hard to find toothpaste without sodium lauryl sulfate, but there are some, one of them being Burt's Bees, that doesn't have flouride of sodium lauryl sulfate. Good luck. Report Spam or Abuse RE: Itching and Bumps on My Lips Post By bubbles from florida (Guest Post) (03/19/2008) Allergic reaction, is what i had after I ate cake. I had tiny bumps all over my lips. I thought it was a disease but its not, you probably allergic to a food you never knew you were allergic to. So always wear lip chap to get rid of it. It took me two weeks using lip chap after every 5- 10 minutes try it. It worked on me!

It is the only thing I use. But you still need to check it out to make sure for health reasons.

Whenever they flare up, my lips plump up. I have not seen a doctor as yet but I have tried Vaseline, vitamin E and Neosporin LT. Nothing works. I am very self conscious and find that people stare at my lips. Has anyone tried anything that worked?

I felt two bumps on my lower lip right in the middle. I didn't want to mess with it but of course I did, so it started weeping and I just put burt's bees chap stick. Later I bought some Abreva it seemed to work. My lip didn't look swollen anymore and the scabs fell at this point. I was pretty happy when this occurred but then the next day I got four tiny ones on the side of my upper lip. I've been using abreva and carmex but it does not seem to work am scared that there is more that will appear. What do have? PS they don't hurt.

I would suggest applying salted butter. It keeps the lips moist for a while, reduces irritation and your lips wouldn't look chapped =) Report Spam or Abuse RE: Itching and Bumps on My Lips Post by badwater (760) | (07/09/2007) Contact Your symptoms sound like a food allergy. I was talking to a pal, not long ago, who said she is allergic to peanut butter. She said because she loves peanut butter so much, at used to eat it every day, she got an allergy to it. She said even to this day, sometimes she'll 'forget' and won't even remember it, till her lips break out in blisters & all swollen. My suggestion is to watch what you eat, keep a journal & try to determine what you're allergic to. This is how my pal figured out what she was allergic to. This was what the Dr. had her do.

This virus is in the chicken pox family. It lays dormant at the end of a nerve and gets woken up when the body is under stress, with such things as emotional stress, illness, etc. Abriva is a great product to use. It does cut the breakout in at least half. I also use Blistex, and camphorated oil when I get mine.

I take B Complex now whenever the symptoms come back and it clears right up.

If I used those Kleenex with aloe, or any aloe chapstick, my lips had bumps all over them and they even swelled. Hope this helps! Cindy Report Spam or Abuse RE: Itching and Bumps on My Lips Post By Erin (Guest Post) (01/14/2007) I had this happen to me awhile ago, too. I was able to narrow it down to an allergic reaction to Victoria's Secret Heavenly. Too bad because the smell is so nice! If you've begun using something different, remove it. It may not be anything hygenic, either. My mom is allergic to random things like certain candle fragrances and certain rubbers. She got a mousepad awhile back and that made her break out. My point is, consider everything!

These are the two biggest culprits for me.
