Food Allergy, it could get worse.
I have the same allergy.
Peaches, apple skins, nectarines.
You may grow out of it. Go to an allergist, if you can not then eat other fruits: melons, cooked fruits, etc

Plums have a very high pectin content in them and you may have sensitivity to this.
Did you wash it before you ate it? Most fruits are sprayed with a chemical these days and this could also be the reason for the itchy lips and mouth.
Always wash fruit before you eat it.

As everyone has already said you are probably allergic to them. I am allergic to plums, cherries and peaches but find slightly unripe apricots OK. I am also allergic to apples but not organic ones, apparently an average apple has been sprayed with chemicals 33 times before you eat it so it could just be the chemicals you are sensitive to.

You could be developing a food allergy to something in the fruit or wherever the fruits are coming from(if you buy your fruits at the same place) even though you wash them could still contain a pesticide on it. And that is causing a reaction to you. A food allergy can occur at anytime in your life even if you never had that problem before. My suggestion would be to see a doctor to get an accurate diagnosis.

You could be allergic to plums or the acid may have an affect on your mouth if your mouth isn't used to it.

OMG that happened to me when I ate an apple. I think I didn't wash it good enough and the pesticides or whatever chemicals were on it. Or I just developed an allergy. Try scrubbing it really good. Its weird though my throat even started itching! I drank Pepsi or something carbonated helps make it stop!
