What Causes Swollen, Itchy, And Red Colored Upper Lip?
Well, sure. Thanks! I ve been experiencing a swollen, itchy, and red upper lip lately and wonder if cinnamon in my steelcut oatmeal in the morning could be the issue. I live in Tucson, Arizona. Sun, maybe? I have a lilac scented candle in my home office. Just trying to think of all the possibilities.......

Hi
According to your complaints it is cheilitis which is inflammation of the lips.
It can occur as an allergic reaction to anything you have used in the past.
I would recommend you to apply cortisone cream on the affected areas twice daily along with frequent and liberal application of moisturising cream on the entire lips.
