I'm 19 and my lips have been swollen and dry and itchy since I was in middle school.
Even when I moisturize like crazy with several creams and lotions, it's only temporary. The dryness comes back after 30 min. They are constantly peeling. Even the skin surrounding my lips. It's terrible.
The swelling is not affected by the moisturizing. It still looks incredibly strange and I find it uncomfortable to smile.
I've been tested for numerous food allergies. None have been found.
I was diagnosed with acid reflux last year and put on antacid medication. I thought that this was the problem and that my swollen lips would go away. Wrong. They're still here and more prominent than ever.
Please help. I don't know what else to do.

I have had swollen, burning, peeling lips for 6 months and have tried diet changes, changed chapstick, acupuncture and am beside myself. Did you ever get answers to your questions. I'm desperate!
