Peeling, Painful, Burnt And Blistered Lips, Swelling When Lipstick Is Used. Using Carmex. Remedy?

My lips feel like they are burned or blistered, and they are peeling and hurt. I have been using Carmex day and night but nothing is clearing the problem. When I try to wear lipstick my mouth swells up huge an takes a day or more to go down.
What can I use to clear this up? Have already stopped using lipstick.
Thanks

hi i had gone through your query and understand your concerns. i would come up with the possibility of ALLERGY is the cause for your sufferings.

The body’s defense mechanism, the immune system, reacts to the allergen as if it were a dangerous organism, in trying to neutralize the antigen, the body releases histamine, which produces the allergy symptoms.

treatment option;

without treating the underlying cause,you cant be cured

i advise you taking Homeopathic medicines gives safe and permanent cure for your allergic complaints
