I’ve had red, inflamed lips for 3 weeks. Went to my dermatologist, who gave me a topical steroid. That seemed to help at first, but quickly flared up again. I’ve eliminated all lip products except for coconut oil & switched from Toms Toothpaste to Dr Bronners. I need some relief....please help!

    Do you have a picture of your lips?

    If you're not allergic to honey, you may want to try applying a thin layer of it on your lips and see if it helps.

    or you may dilute it in some water then use a cotton pad, dip it in the mixture of honey & water and place it on your lips..

      Unfortunately no picture I took was high quality enough. I’ve tried honey....I’m not allergic but it doesn’t take the redness away. Thanks for the suggestion!

    Are you sure you have not eaten anything that you are allergic to recently?

      I suppose anything is possible, but I’ve never been allergic to any foods.
