Hi,
I think this is an allergic reaction to something (a substance) you were recently using. Maybe the new wipes you were using. Just stop using them immediately.
Use Cetirizine or Benadryl for itching, redness and swelling. Since you have lip swelling go to ER for Epinephrine and Prednisone injections.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
