I have this I pinned out to resons why i have this, STRESS or LIP BALM, my lips are so dry I cant help but to put lip balm on to moisten my lips but that makes them waaaaay more itchy , i have the tiniest littles bumps around the outter edge of my lips it makes them feel like sand paper. I refuse to kiss my bf and i wont share cups or anything incase its contegeious, its hard to open my mouth at the moment its so dry and if I open it to wide it starts to bleed in the corners, the sun irritates them more. the rash is spreading to my cheeks and my chin its so annoying and makes me feel self consious. i was prescibed some allergie medication with antihestamyne in it to take away the swelling or as they say keep it at bay, ive only just started and now that i read all these stories its starting to make me feel like theres no cure, which is making me stress about it even more. Id rather have this sh*t on my arm,leg or hand then my dam mouth its the worst possible place to be infected. Last time I went to the doctor he said it was a cold sore and gave me cold sore drugs that didnt help because it wasnt a cold sore.
