lip swelling

By hairgirl Saturday, March 27, 2010

please help!

my lips started swelling out of the blue a month ago. my top has gotten better but my bottom in the very middle stays swollen the whole day but gets super worse at night. its in the inside making my lip stick out. only thing that helped was a week of oral steroids but as soon as that was out of my system the swelling started again

please let me know any suggestions or what you found out about yours

thanks

oh and benedryl doesnt help

and just to paint a pic...its not huge or painful but enough to be obvious and both are blood red and swollen when i get up in the morning

Unfortunately, I am dealing with the same problem.  I have learned that certain types of chap sticks trigger and allergic reation and both of my lips swell.  I went to the doctor and was told that it can be from a number of different allergies and I should take Zyrtec and that should clear them up.  I did take the medicine and it clears it up but, if I am outside in the air or use the wrong stuff on my lips, they will swell again. They are swollen now.
