Hello.

Thanks for writing to us.

Itchy lesions on the lips is most likely due to dermatitis - can be allergic in origin or may be related to eczema. Avoid using any cosmetics on the area. Applying 1% hydrocortisone cream will bring the desired relief. If there is redness or discharge from the area, then you need to consult your dermatologist for management.

I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.

Regards,

Dr. Praveen Tayal
