A couple of months ago, my lips started getting dry, but I ignored it. So it started getting drier,itchy, and crackly. I then started putting Burt's Bees repair serum and their Lipbalm. Which made it a little better, but my lips were still 'sick'. Then another anomaly came to the picture: my upper lip swells up occasionally at night. It doesn't itch while swollen, just, the next couple of days, my upper lip has a red 'almost' circle. It feels extra freaky soft (like your skin after you peel of a scab), and it stars crackling again. Last night I compressed it with chamomile tea bag, and put olive oil on it this morning. I've been dealing with this for long enough so I really would like to know what this is and want to get it over with..! I'm a stay-at-home wife, and don't wear make up unless I go out (about once a week), I just use lipbalm. I prefer not going to a doctor.
