How To Treat Itchiness And Burning Sensation Around Lips Due To Food Allergy?

I am a 44 year old male. I have seasonal and food allergies. When I eat something that I am allergic to or during allergy season, my lips and the area around them (about an inch or so) turn bright red and itch. Chap stick doesn't help. Is there anything you would suggest that I put on them instead that isn't going to look like I'm wearing lip gloss? Usually it takes nearly a week for this condition to go away by itself.

I would recommend using antihistamines such as Zyrtec daily. I also recommend using hydrocortisone cream for local application.
