Red, Sore, Spots On Lips, Not Having Herpes Virus. Sunburn Or Allergy?
I have a few noticeable red, round chapped sore spots on my upper and lower lips. I m not sure if I have sunburn or if I am allergic to something. (My only allergy is skin itching with latex ). I do not have the herpes virus (either strain). (I have had serum testing and have kissed no one new since. :-) The red, round, sore spots throb a little bit. What do you think this is? Thanks!

Welcome to HCM.It may be secondary to allergy from cosmetics/food allergy/drug reaction/Solar dermatitis aggravated by use of cosmetics.It would be best to consult your doctor or dermatologist who can examine the lesions and guide you further.Rarely such lesions may occur due to vasculitis secondary to autoimmune diseases.
