Suggest Treatment For Sunburn On Lips

I have started a new medication Symbacort & Singular to help with my asthma but my lips seem to have had a reaction and feel like I have a bad sun burn. I also was using Listerine Totalcare and stopped thinking that might have something to do with it. I have tried Vaseline, chapstick but nothing is helping. Do you have any suggestions?

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of sunburn on lips which seem sto be due to manifestations of allergic reaction.

Need not to worry. I would suggest you to

- Apply cold compresses 2-3 times a day.

- Drink plenty of water to keep yourself hydrated.

- Apply petroleum jelly on affected area.

- Take antihistamine like benadryl.

If condition doesn't get better in 2-3 days then consult dermatologist/pulmonologist for proper examination and rule out causes like skin infection and start alternative course of medications.
Doctor may prescribe steroid ointment and vitamin C supplement for quick recovery.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
