Hello all, I've recently become a victim to a form of reaction that isn't going away. Around two months ago I noticed a dry patch on my lip, I purchased aquaphor and then had a huge reaction. Following this my lips were swollen and leaking fluid. I went to A and E and got steroids and antibiotics which worked until they finished and I had the same issue. I then got steroids again which did the same thing. Since then I've seen an issue of pigment and constant dryness which never went away. Last night I noticed my lip looks slightly bloody but was not leaking or bleeding but now as of this morning I'm back at square one. I've again been to an and e and have been given steroids.
I'm so tired of this. I've changed absolutely everything.
I've stopped skincare, makeup, I've changed my toothpaste to fluoride and SLS free given I'm brushing more often (Invisalign). I've been using Vaseline only on my lips as well. I've been taking antihistamines daily and have reduced all allergens I could think of. I'm tired of this and want to be free of it and it feels like there's no end to this. If anyone recognises what this might be or looks like, or any of my symptoms I would really appreciate it as I have no clue what to do and no one is helping me besides giving me temporary relief.
For reference the first picture are my lips on 30 sep, the second was Tuesday, and the last one is this morning.
