What Causes Tingling And Burning Sensation In Lips?

Hi, I have been going through this weekly cycle where my bottom lip skin and upper middle skin is peeling for almost 6 months now. I have used all kinds of lip balms, vaseline, honey and Olive oil but its still the same. I started having some funny feelings in my lips now, like somebody is tickling me in the inside.

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern.

As per your query you have symptoms of tingling and burning sensation in lips which is mainly because of nerve damage or dysfunction as the cranial nerves from the brain supply the lips. If its simply chapped lips or herpes infection then it would have been resolved till now as 6 months is a long duration for this. Fungal infection, folliculitis is also the major cause for your condition.

I would suggest you to visit dermatologist once and get it examined properly. Apply antifungal creams on outer boundary of lips. apply creams rich in kojic acid at day time. Apply unscented burts bees balm on your lips at bedtime. Apply ice cubes or ice pack pressure for 5-10 minutes after every hour. Apply apple cedar vinegar on it or dip cotton in tea tree oil and apply on this area, your symptoms will start resolving.

Take diet rich in yogurt and multivitamins, it will give soothe effects.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
