Hi,
I think you may be having chelitis. In your case it is seasonal. So, it may be some allergy. Take a short and tappering course of steroid along with oral antihistaminics. If there is infection, take antibiotic for one week. Mild steroid with antibiotic cream may be applied. Protect the lip from allergens and sun exposure. I hope you would be alright. I hope ou got my answer.
Thanks.
