kachilyn I have not figured out the trigger. It started about a month after I finished all cancer treatment. It usually shows up when I’m really stressed. This time it started as soon as I walked into my MIL’s house. She has a cat, but we’ve been to her place and stayed with this cat before. We spent a week with my MIL and it never went away. As soon as we got on the road home they finally stopped burning and tingling. I was so miserable up to that point. My SIL said she gets the itchy swollen lips from pine pollen when she goes to Nashville. My mom developed horrible allergies in her 50’s. Now she can’t be around any animals. I worry about going that route. Other than penicillin I’ve never had any allergies. I’ve never asked my doctor for a dx since it happens so rarely. Have you been checked for autoimmune disorders? I don’t know if swelling lips is the same, but a lot of people with idiopathic hives have been found to have an autoimmune disorder. When I was under tons of stress and my hashimotos was out of control I got both at the same time, that’s why I mention it. And my swollen lips progressed to swollen tongue and airways so please keep that in mind. I loved on liquid Benadryl and still had to take a couple of visits to the minor ER for an epi shot.

I’m another Vick’s Vapo Rub user for chapped or preventing chapped lips. And it’s such a refreshing feeling on the lips. Yaaaaasss.

Another vote for Neosporin Lip Treatment. Package says it works in 3 days, and it did for me.

I also use and swear by the Laneige lip sleeping mask.
