You should talk to your doctors about zinc deficiency. Zinc is essential to a healthy immune system and a deficiency in it causes hair loss.
Another thought would be thyroid deficiency.
Just a couple of thoughts for you to run by your doctors. I don't know if they can test zinc, but there are several tests for thyroid that can be run. Make sure that you get all of them. Sometime the first more simple tests are inconclusive.
Like said above vitamin b 2 or iron deficiency or zinc can cause it. Licking excessively or drooling at night. Or just poor hygiene in moutH. Hope this helps.
i had a canker sore on my gum, right now one of my teeth.
Some causes of the symptoms you mention, could be lip biting, lip licking, Vit.B2 deficiency, smoking, overexposure to sun and ill fitting dentures. In extreme cases, this could be due to bacterial or fungal skin infection.
You need to drink plenty of water daily – around 1.5 – 3 litres per day and eat a balanced diet. Do not keep your lips dry; apply lip balm which contains sunscreen – preferably a medicated one.

it may be something as simple as a Zinc deficiency. Zinc is a mineral that we need to heal our skin. it also heals acne. Worth a try, i think, don't you?

I have been watching my lip eczema problem that showed up recently and mine is related to using a new lip balm that was SPF-rated (I usually avoid SPF balms- this balm was supposed to be a natural anti-viral to help prevent cold sores) - It appears that my lips react to either benzophenone-3 or to Octyl-Methoxcinnamate.
The major sign of zinc deficiency is affected taste. The zinc taste test is recommended. I have had this done for free at my local pharmacy showing i had zinc deficiency. You can also purchase zinc sulfate to try at home. I can't say for sure what all my zinc deficiency symptoms were as i has other severe deficiency states and medical conditions concurrently.
Copper supplements are incredibly cheap, but you want to be sure you have the deficiency. Copper and Zinc are in balance, so be careful you don't deplete your zinc. Using bracelets won't work. Again, supplementation is very cheap with this one, and you only need a very small amount. Or you can research foods that are rich in copper and do it that way.
Hello all. Thank you all in advance for your time. For the last three weeks or so, I've had this near-constant sensation of tingling and numbing, sometimes burning, on the skin between my upper lip and my nose on the right side. It's as if I had a local numbing shot and it's starting to wear off. It feels like it's IN my lip rather than on it.

Elevated TSH with normal labs is called subclinical hypothyroidism. There may or may not be any hypothyroid symptoms with this lab result. Exercising, eating better and correcting any deficiency states might see the TSH come down. I'd say retest in say 6 months.
I have read you may become sensitive to foods you eat it often but if you stop eating those foods for some time you might be able to tolerate them again.
About six months ago I noticed a small blister-like lump towards the outer edge of my lower lip. Within a couple of weeks it had become 3, all next to each other ...possibly a single long bump, hard to say for sure.
Then about 2 months ago the corner of my mouth split when I was eating, but I put that down to eating a HUGE burger.
Anyway, 2 weeks ago my lips got very dry and tiny white blisters appeared on my top lip, and it felt slightly swollen.

Thank you for your quick response. I'd rule out vitamin B deficiency since I have a balanced diet and take a daily multivitamin. I'm not sure about atopic dermatitis. After researching that online, it appears that it affects external skin. Can it cause a rash inside my mouth (i.e. behing my lower lip)?
I have been beginning to think that this rash may be related to kissing my ex-girlfriend.
