Sore And Swelling In Lips, Pimple Like Rashes On Face Due To Food Allergy. No Help From Mupirocin. Concerning?

I moved to florida not to long ago and had an allergic reaction to the cafeteria food on campus. My lips swelled and i had pimple like rashes on my face. Its been 2 months and my lips are still sore and swollen. I try putting mupirocin on them and any possible lip balm on them but it just them burn and get bright red. Im starting to think if its still an allergic reaction.

Dear patient,

Thanks for the concerns. Perhaps it was originally an allergic reaction, and mupirocin is actually an antibiotic, some people are also allergic to it. The ideal trial of an antiinflammatory should be with hydrocortisone cream at 1% for a few days and assess response; if not positive I would encourage you to see a Dermatologist.

Yours truly,
