I have been experiencing redness around my lips with slight soreness for a couple weeks. I have not changed make-up, lipstick, lip balm or anything that could contribute to an allergic reaction. What could this redness be caused from? How would you recommend this be treated? Could this condition be caused by a vitamin B or folic acid deficiency?
Have you considered lotions, perfumes, etc. Are you drinking enough water? I did find some information that connects sore lips with vitamin deficiencies and folic acid. Try taking a daily multiple vitamin. Be careful with that and the folic acid. Too much of a good thing can be bad too. A better idea might be to Google the term "Food Pyramid" to evaluate your daily diet . See where you are lacking nutritionally, particularly in the area of vitamins and folic acid food sources. Increase your intake in those areas so that one day you will not need the supplements. I hope this helps. Let us know the outcome. Good luck !
