Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query your symptoms of lips inflammation and peeling resembles perioral dermatitis. It could be due to stress, hormonal changes, use of wrong cosmetic product. Need not to worry. To alleviate swelling and any type of inflammation you can go for steroid injections and topical medications. I would suggest you to take anti allergic like Allegra 60 mg twice daily for 3 days and Ibuprofen in case of pain. I would suggest you to consult dermatologist again for proper evaluation ,doctor may prescribe antibiotic course for 6- 12 weeks and may also prescribe medicine like isotretinoin. Maintain oral hygiene. Apply dologel on area of inflammation. Drink plenty of fluids.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
