Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
Itchy lesions on the lips is most likely due to dermatitis - can be allergic in origin or may be related to eczema. Avoid using any cosmetics on the area. Applying 1% hydrocortisone cream will bring the desired relief. If there is redness or discharge from the area, then you need to consult your dermatologist for management.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
Regards,
Dr. Praveen Tayal
