Answers:
Try to recall things you've changed in your life about the time this started happening!.

Any new makeups!? Medications!? Lipstick!? Something you borrowed from a friend, maybe as a touch-up after a meal!? Something you shared!?

Or, foods you don't eat commonly: a restaurant you hardly ever go to, something that's only cooked on special occasions, someplace you ate (like at a friend's house) where you don't normally do so!.

You shouldn't feel embarrassed or gross to ask this!. Allergies - especially food allergies - are perfecty normal and extremely common, affecting 1 in 5 Americans!. You're doing the right thing looking for treatment, both for your personal health and peace of mind!. Maybe a doctor isn't such a bad idea!.

Think very hard about possible triggers!. If you do go to a doctor, this is /extremely/ important information to have!.

Good luck, dear!.!.!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

All these are good answers, it could be anything!. The doctor will want to know!.

In the meantime if you want to try something new that may help, try organic apple cider vinegar!. Drink a swig of it (not on a mt stomach), and also put some on your lips twice daily!. I swim laps a lot, and my lips are always a mess from the chemicals, apple cider vinegar is the only thing that has helped!. It may or may not work on you, but it's worth a shot if your willing!.

It sounds like it might be herpes!. There are a couple of kinds and it might be the type people refer to as common cold sores or it could be the other kind!.

In either case, I'd buy Abreva!. http://www!.abreva!.com/

It couldn't hurt to see the doctor and get a real diagnoses!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Are you taking any new medications or eating new foods - sounds like you are allergic to something!. Think about anything 'new' you have come in contact with - cosmetics too!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

You should go to the Doctor's office they can tell you for sure, but it sounds like you have had an allergic reaction to something you ate or came into contact with!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

cold sore itll be gone in a week or so!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

go to a dermatologist right away!.!.!.!. don't waste time here go now Www@Answer-Health@Com

They 'could' be fever blisters (aka fever sores)!. While vaseline and lip balm, etc will help keep your lips moist, they won't help heal them!. Try Carmex, Blistex, or anything like that!. Abreva is supposed to be EXCELLENT but its also extremely expensive!. Basically you want some kind of balm that is medicated!. A store version would work too!. Good luck!.

Reading on your additions, yes, its starting to sound like allergies!. But better to go on the side of caution and go see a doc!. I'd pop a benadryl in the meantime too!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
