Itchy lips and mouth

Common Questions and Answers about Itchy lips and mouth

itchy

It eventually went away, leaving sensitive and easily irritated skin below my lip. Then it started itching again, dry flaky skin under the lip, lip cracking and dry. I don't think it is bacterial because it keeps coming back, but not cold sores, no blisters; I don't think my doctor knows what it is. I work alot around a shop full of flying fiberglass dust, thought maybe I rubbed my lip with this dust on my hand and caused a reaction, but not really sure.

Sometimes I can feel a small lump on the inside of my bottom lip but I think that is just because the only way the itch is satisfied is by sort of biting them and scraping them with my teeth, so there is a little irritation inside of the lip. There are no itches anywhere else around my mouth, just my lips. Also, there are no sores at all or anything!

I noticed myself wiping my mouth on my sleeves, and then a couple days later my lips look like they have tiny red pimples that itch. I put benedryl on them adn it burned for a minute but then it stopped the itch. Before I put that on, my pimples would seep clear fluid. Can anyone tell me what this is? I have had it for 3 days now.

My lips got itchy and sore on one side and then small bumps on my bottom lip. The next day it spread to my face and chin. I put hydrocortisone cream on my face to relieve the itching but now both my lips are still itchy and they swell up. I haven't eaten anything different and I don't have any food allergies that I know of. It is becoming very nasty looking and it is right on my face. It is only on one side and it around my mouth and chin. Please help. It is driving me crazy.

I found out last year that I have a severe mango allergy. One of the symptoms was swollen itchy lips. Prednisone made it go away (after the Dr. and I tried lots of other things). No more mangoes for me!

I didn't pay much attention to it and I thought it was because of the mango I had the night before. Then more rash appeared on both top and bottom lips and around my mouth. It's itchy and they all have dry, crusted surfaces and some have clear, yellow-ish discharge. Is this caused by mango allergy or is this herpes? I haven't had any sexual activities for the past month. Thanks ...

I have been looking all over the internet for home based remedies for Eczematous Cheilitis or is what I think it is. I have really bad chapped lips and sometimes i can't open my mouth because it is so dry there is also a redness around the lips which is also dry and flaky and sometime itchy. By putting water on it lets me open my mouth fully but the starts to dry up again i don't use lip balm becase it give me a horrible burning sensation. Please please help me what should I do!!

The fingers, hand, wrist and elbow areas clear up with the stroid cream but only to begin the itchy red swells on my lips. While my lips are broken out, the other areas clear up. Every month. After my lips itch and swell, they crack dry out and peel the same exact way every month.. I am afraid to put steroid cream on my mouth so Ive used Blistex which only soothes for a llittle while. It does not clear anything up. Thanks for any help. Oh and the doctor said it's not herpes.

My lips are dry and sore. My outter lips (around my mouth) are red and extremely itchy. What can I do to get rid of this problem?

I've been having a burning, extremely itchy rash of sorts on my upper lip for the past two years. I've treated it with anti-fungal, antibiotics, and anti-viral cream with no avail. The only thing that keeps it under control is Fluocinonide USP, 0.05. I know it's not the best to put this on your face, but it's the only thing that has worked.

I have an itchy pimple under lip close to skin. I get it every once in awhile. It doesn't look like a cold sore. when i pop it clear fluid comes out. what can it be?

about a week later I had thought that the reason for my pain was because of touching this plant and then forgeting I had touched the plant, I touched my self. After this my vigina lips were very itchy. Of coarse this happens sometimes so I scratched it an then about a few secounds later the lips began to itch again. this went on for about half an hour to the point where I started to bleed. I rushed to the bathroom to examin it and my vagina lips were EXTREMELY swollen.

i've been having this too and i'm pretty sure it's an allergic reaction to something in one of my lip glosses. i use MAC lip gloss, but not all of them cause it - only certain colors so i'm guessing there's an ingredient used on SOME that i'm allergic to. i stop using the suspected color but i'm still getting the rash. i think it's because the lip gloss transferred to my chapstick at some point. lol! i'm going to buy a completely new chapstick and stop using that color and see what happens!

I applied lysine on my lips and nothing else, but now my lips are swollen and itchy. What can be causing this problem? Is it the sun? What should I do? Please help!!!

My lips started to tingle, burn, and then presented little white bumps in the corner of my mouth and also little bumps on my top lip that can only be seen when the lip is stretched. It's been like that for 3 months now and I think I'm going to go get it looked at. They don't always burn or tingle and when they do it is only for a few minutes. My only concern is that it doesn't go away on it's own....... Sound like Chelitis?

please can you help me?

It is caused by ill-fitting dentures in older people, and by wind, cold, or dry conditions that cause you to lick your lips. when you like your lips too often the saliva accumulates in the corners of your mouth and the germs in your saliva can start to have a little too much fun there. also it's related to iron and b-vitamin deficiencies.

Hi, Since Monday i am feeling some kind of itchy feeling under my lower lips and my chin. I am not sure what is wrong. Can you please help me. On sunday i used a new shaving cream, does that cause this effect?

I have had these little red itchy lumps on the edges of my lips for months and months and i really dont know what to do next!!!!! I went to my gp and they did a blood test for herpes which came back negative and i have also been trying cold sore cream on them but it does nothing. Sometimes they almost feel like they have gone away but then like a flick of a switch they start burning and itching like crazy.

22nd, I first started feeling extremely itchy on my vaginal lips and around the entrance to my anus. This itchiness increased to the point that it was unbearable. During that time, I tried taking yeast infection meds, but that didn't work. On Aug. 29th, I noticed 2 large bumps under the skin near my anus. They were not itching, but were painful only when I pressed on them. On Aug. 31st, I saw a doctor. She wasn't sure what it was, but she took a culture for yeast and did a test for STDs.

i went and got my wisdom teeth taken out and ever since then my lips got swollen and my lips and mouth are all itchy and even my chin what do i do how do i take care of it its going on day three now

In addition to all this, my upper lip has spots on it, and I have a dark ring around my mouth. I think the spots are from sun damage, as my lips were a very light pink when I was younger. The dark ring around my mouth goes away depending on what I eat. Its very irritating to be itchy and dry all the time, and I need a change. What recommendations do you have for very dry skin and sun damaged lips?

and then I woke up in the morning with a rough itchy palate and a strange feeling around my lips. My lips themselves were not itchy, they just felt weird - kinda swollen, but it itched around the outside of my lips. Then I got a super small blister on my top lip...it never got bigger or oozed, it just ended up going away after a few days. My tastebuds also got sorta inflamed on the top and sides of my tounge. Does anyone know what this could be???

It may present as groups of itchy or tender small red bumps around the mouth. They usually spare the skin bordering the lips may spread on the sides of the chin, then spreading to include upper lip and cheeks. The surrounding skin may be pink, and the skin surface often becomes dry and flaky. The exact cause is not understood may be induced by: face creams, moisturizers, cream cleansers, topical steroid creams or ointments. Wash the face with warm water alone while the rash is present.

Hello, I have suffered from mild acne for a few years now but about 6 months ago my acne started to clear up and then I started developing (what I thought was) acne around my mouth and eventually dryness in both corners of my mouth causeing splitting and pain whenever I opened my mouth. This cleared and about 2 months later I started getting there tiny blisters around the edges of my lips and on them as well. This has started happening once a month just after menstration.

Now one sore is back on the left side of my mouth where my top and bottom lip connect. If i open my mouth too wide it tears and hurts. This is a new problem but it seems to be happening around the same time that all of the other things are happening.
