I drink quite frequently, so hard to tell!!! I have noticed that I get these bumps after using certain lip balms, and yes they tend to peel badly afterwards. I'm yet to find a connection to the ingredients. It doesn't happen if I just use shea butter and lanolin or vaseline.

The redness around my lips never seems to disappear. The dryness, peeling, chapping of the actual lips vary, but are mostly pretty atrocious.

I have been trying to be VERY diligent to apply Vaseline as soon as my lips start getting that redness around them, which I still feel is just my regular chapped lips bothering me because it happens if I'm out in the cold for too long or seasonally when I am drying up.

I took accutane sometime ago and the moisture has never returned to them.
But .... If it really is inflammation / irritation caused by the dryness, then surely a steroid should have effect?
I've been using my latest script (emovate ointment) for 14 days now without any real improvement.
The derm said I need to use it for as long as it takes to get the dermatitis under control, and then a little while longer to treat the deeper skin tissue.
Obviously this is not a prospect I'm comfortable with given that it's doing jack for me so far!
I'm going to give it another week and then head back to him for a rethink.
Is your worse when eating? Mine gets particularly red, especially when eating anything spicy.

Hello everyone, over the course of time you can become allergic to certain products. I have dry and chapped lips and water seeps out lip line . I think im allergic to lipstick so not used it for a while. Lips are ok. Same with mascara and eyeliner. My eyes go big puffy very itchy crusty. I don't wear eye make up & problem went. Waiting for doctors appointment to see a dermatologist, bet im allergic to makeup. Some people are allergic to beeswax. Be careful what you use. Good luck xxx

Really looking forward to getting to the bottom of it ... at the very least I will be able to rule out one possibility.
The doc says that steroid resistant dermatitis like mine, is usually a contact reaction.
Will provide an update once the results are in.

MANGO! i have been having the same problems as everyone and after staying up all night researching I am convinced that i'm allergic to mangoes. google mango mouth.
i have symptoms that seemed like an allergic reaction but i couldn't rememeber eating anything out of the ordinary and i've never had allergies in the past. and then it clicked that i had eaten mango slices out of the skin the day before both times this reaction flared up.
i haven't been clinically diagnosed but i am almost positive this is what's happening. going to the doctor today
