[Skin Concerns] Allergic Reaction or Crazy Chapped???

Beauty Tips For Body Care
Hi everyone! I hope I’m doing this correctly but I’m at the absolute end of my rope with this—I’ve been experiencing a really uncomfortable rash on the top and bottom of my lips for the last couple of weeks and can’t for the life of me figure out if it’s due to severe chapping or is some sort of reaction to something I’m using.my lips this morningI wake up with some light swelling and the itchiness intensifies as the swelling decreases throughout the day. I don’t experience any flakiness on my actual lips, but they definitely wrinkle up in response to the decreased swelling. Thanks to COVID, I leave the house once a day at most, always with a fresh mask, and don’t talk with it on— so I feel okay ruling out weather-related irritation.The pictures I’ve seen of perioral dermatitis don’t seem to be what’s going on, as the rash doesn’t comprise of small bumps, just darker red rings around my lips. I don’t lick my lips at all but am definitely guilty of using a huge variety of lip products to try and calm the pain and itching down. I’ve recently stopped use of everything but the Laneige lip sleeping mask, with Neosporin on the larger raw patch at the bottom of my lip at night.I read a recent post where the user suggested abstaining from all lip products for two weeks and tbh cried a little bit at the idea of it. Is there anything else I can do to try and figure out what’s going on?Nothing about my facial skincare routine has changed in the last couple of months, but I’m listing it below just in case!Morning• Drunk Elephant C-Firma Day Serum (avoiding the bottom half of my face since the rash started showing up)• The Ordinary Caffeine Solution• CeraVe PM Facial Moisturizing Lotion• Purito Centella Green Level Unscented Sun SPF50 (I know :( will be changing out for an actually effective sunscreen as soon as I run out)Evening• Purito Centella Buffet Serum• CosRX Snail Peptide Eye Cream• CosRX Snail 92 All in One Cream• CosRX Nourishing Rice Overnight Spa MaskThanks so much in advance for taking the time to read this— I’m open to any and all suggestions
