Yesterday morning, Sunday i woke up with severely chapped lips and they seemed to get progressively worse, but no lip balm or vaseline could relieve them. They are extremely dry, sore to the touch, cracked, have tiny blisters which seem to weep when i apply pressure to them. I had purchased new lipsticks, but i didn't experience these symptoms well over 24 hours after first applying the lipstick. This morning, Monday, i woke up with very swollen lips, primarily my upper lip. I haven't eaten anything out of the ordinary. If anyone else has experienced these symptoms or may have an idea what i mat have, it would be very helpful!Thanks in advance!
Shauna - Yes, allergic reactions can occur 24, 36, even 48 hours after exposure. However, do you have any known allergies? You may want to double check your foods that have multiple ingredients, to make sure nothing has changed in their ingredient list. It's also possible they could have changed manufacturing processes which could result in different low level contaminants that you could react to.
ReplyDeleteIs there anything else that touches your lips, like shampoo, soap on your pillow cases? These could have changed ingredients recently, as well, if you started using a new bottle or package.
The weeping blisters, however, sound like it could be another condition, as well, so it might be prudent to go see a doctor, if possible
