What Causes Discomfort Above The Upper Lip?

Hi,
An area of my upper lip and just above and below my nose starting having discomfort over a month ago. I have a groomed mustache and I use a coloring agent called Just For Men. I have been using it for years. My lip and mustache area is emitting a clear liquid and has a stinging feeling. It has been coming and going for over a month. I have applied neosporen, and corizone along with lip balm. This issue does not seem to want to go away

Hi..
Thanks for the query..

Oozing clear fluid along with oozing of clear fluid can be due to hair follicle infection or can be due to allergic reaction to dyes or any other skin cosmetic ..

You should consult an Emergency room and get evaluated and a clinical evaluation and if required culture of fluid that is oozing can help in ruling out the exact nature of infection on case of infection is diagnosed..

As of now you can clean the area with antiseptic solution, apply combination of ointments like Triple Antibiotic Ointment and cortisone..
Do cool compresses over the area..
Keep the area clean and dry..

Hope this helps..

Regards.
