FOR THE PAST 6MONTHS I HAVE HAD SWOLLEN,DRY AND ITCHY LIPS,IT ALSO AFFECTS THE SKIN AROUND MY MOUTH.IT STARTS WITH SORES AND THROBBING PAIN,THEN MY LIPS SWELL AND START ITCHING.IVE TAKEN VITAMINS AND TRIED EVERY CREAM, IM NOW TAKING ANIT ALLERGY BUT STILL AS PAINFUL AS EVER.I HAVE TO USE VASELINE CONSTANTLY TO STOP THEM DRYING OUT,IVE EVEN TRIED TOOTHPASTE FROM THE HEALTH SHOP.THIS PROBLEM GETS WORSE AROUND THE TIME OF MY PERIOD.ANY SUGGESTIONS PLEASE AS THE DOCS DNT HAVE CLUE. IM DESPERATE....

For the last 7 months I have been getting itchy, red all around my lips. It all started when I squeezed a tiny little black head around my lower lip and then applied some lipstick with an obviously now contaminated brush because within 2 hours I could feel my lips being sucked dry of any moisture and they have never been the same since. I have tried making my own herbal lip concocsion but to no avail, am now on derma-top which helps kind of but really do not want a bandaid for the problem I want them back to normal. Some days I think they are almost normal and then depending on what I may eat during the night they flare up as red and swoolen and itchy, itchy, itchy, I believe it is chocolate and dairy that is bothering me. I also have just started taking organic wild Oregano Oil to help cleanse the blood and I am hoping to do a three day fast and see if that will be the miracle needed. ......

its been a year already, i just came across this site. hopefully u have found treatment for your lips. if not and for those who have the same problem, use neosporin lip treatment. it will help alleviate any pain/burning/redness because it has an analgesic and also treat dry/chapped lips. for sores, go to the doctor and get a prescription for triamcinolone acetonide dental paste. one dab of that directly on lips/sores/area where it is swollen or burns/itches and it is gone literally by the end of the day! it is a miracle cream.

i've suffered from dry, swollen lips a few times in the past - it all started a few years ago - from a transfer resistant lipstick.the treatment i had been given at that time worked and a couple of weekes later it had completely cleared. the symptoms returned this summer - and the doctors have given me all sorts of steroids creams and ointments, have seen about 5-6 doctors in a period of 3 months and it would get a lot better sometimes but never completely.so i've tried again the treatment used initially which i recommend to all of u (but definitely check with a doctor first : the cream is called ELOCON (a very strong steroids based cream), aplied in a very thin layer twice a day for 5-7 days taking orally during treatment vitamin E (once a day). and u can see the effects within hours!
it worked for me and i hope it helps u all as well!

after suffering with the lips i also had stomach problems, i ended having an endoscopy, i was diagnosed with Hpylori bacteria in my stomach, this was treated with a strong dose of antibiotics and antacids, on reading symptons to this bacteria it was obviously the cause of my lips and mouth as all is well now.

I have the same problem, but I have found that Palmer's cocoa butter formula swivel stick and neosporin really help. Good luck!!!

Hey, I've been having the same problem with my lips. I thought it was because they were too dry or because of rapid climate change (I travel a bit) but the symptoms seem similar. Sometimes I get coldsores, sometimes not, but my lips feel sore, itchy, swollen, and irritated. I went to my dermatologist and they prescribed me a prescription cream: fougera - triamcinolone acetonide cream USP, 0.1%.
It relieves the symptoms rapidly; however, doesn't cure them but I've tried almost everything (100% organic lip balms, pure cocoa butter, vaseline, you name it) and this is the best thing that I've come across.
I know everyone is different and would thus react to different medications so I wish you all luck in healing this pesky problem.
