Burning, Bumpy Lips, Tight Dry Feeling For A Week. Cure For Symptoms?

My lips are kind of burning, bumpy and they have this kind of tight, dry feeling even though I have vaseline on them. The bumps are very small and this has happened before when I allowed someone else to dip their finger in my vaseline, or when my hands may not be clean and I put my fingers in the vaseline and then touch my lips. But it never lasts this long. It's been almost a week.

Hi,
It seems that this might be due to some local allergen came in contact with your lips.
There might be allergy to lipstick,you applied.
This might be due to some food allergy came in contact with lips while eating.
Take some anti-histamine like Cetrizine, Levo cetrizineor Benadryl for 2-3 days.
Keep lips moisturized.
Ok and take care.
