Hi,
I am really interested to hear your lips are now? I have the same problem. Started about 3 months ago. The first doctors visit, I got sent away and told to use a lip balm! The next visit, she couldn't believe her eyes and took a swab which detected staph.. So after 4 lots of antibiotics the infection cleared, but I still have peeling dry lips and this morning I've woken up with coldsores... I don't know what to do!!!

I am reading. Trying to find answers for my lips.... first it was staph after weeks of dry peeling red swollen lips so I had 4 lots of antibiotics, the infection cleared but my lips and corners of mouth remained peeling and dry, and now I have coldsores, most likely because my immune system has been weakened by all the antibiotics. I am at my wits end with the peeling lips.... just want answers

I've found that I get a bad reaction from using Burt's Bees lip products (lip balm, lipstick), of all things. I don't know which ingredient in there bothers me but I wonder if it is the beeswax itself or the propolis in it. That brand is the primary culprit but there are some lip products from other brands that I react to also (random lipsticks, lip glosses). Unfortunately, I don't know that these other products are problematic until the day after I use them - argh. Since I can't bear to throw away otherwise perfectly good products, I thriftily use these lipsticks as blush since they don't bother my face skin. :-)
I had all these symptoms for a few years - peeling, burning, tightness, tiny holes in my lip where the skin peeled off, never seeming to get better, etc - and did a food allergy test and diet, went to a dermatologist ("I don't see anything!!"), used Aquaphor, and nothing helped until I started using a different lip balm (because I liked the smell) in place of my Burt's Bees stuff and my symptoms started clearing up. What?
I'll sometimes wake up with a little patch of symptoms (it'll burn a little, feel rough, peel and have little holes, and taste like pennies) and think, "What the heck did I get into yesterday?" Something I've found that helps clear up random outbreaks pretty quickly is Triamcinolone Acetonide Ointment USP 0.5%. The tube I have says it's made by Perrigo. It's prescription, unfortunately, because it's a steroid. My mom had it laying around for some rosacea but it helps my problem, too.
TL;DR - Burt's Bees and possibly beeswax-containing products give me symptoms. Eliminate these and see what happens. And see if your doc will give you a tube of Triamcinolone Acetonide Ointment USP 0.5%. Your mileage may vary. Good luck, peeps!

Thanks for this. I had tried eliminating beeswax but after three weeks of avoidance noted no improvement.
How long did it take for you to recover?
I sometimes wonder whether i did not give it long enough ... I know one lip balm for sure that makes things much worse is Jack Black, but can't determine the offending ingredient!
Also, did you have redness around the lips?
It looks like I've misapplied my lipstick!
I will definitely look to give the ointment a go, however I've tried steroids before to little avail!
Thanks

Heey guys! Wow I'm surprised to see others have this same thing with their lips. What I use as a solution and has always worked for me is pure petroleum jelly VASELINE!!! That is bae right there, it acts as a cure to this lip thing in just 1 to 2 days and as an everyday moisturizer for my lips. Just get unscented pure VASELINE (the most normal Vaseline) Don't get the scented ones/lip therapy or anything. The pure normal VASELINE works the best. It is the best thing ever I've used for my lips. So perfect !

I'm having these same symptoms. They showed up 1 week after visiting the dentist. Everything points to cold sores, but I really don't think it's cold sores! It's not really blisters. I've been putting vinegar on my lips hoping to kill whatever it is. When I wipe them, more fluid seeps out. It has spread around to every part of my lips. Very itchy! I've tried neosporin, Abreva, aquaphor, & even took some cold sore prescription pills that a family member had. Nothing has made this better. My lips also will swell. Please someone help!
