My allergy doctor and my dermatologist told me that I had contact dermatitis which affected my lips and around my mouth. My dermatologist told me to avoid using chapstick or lipstick etc. with SPF in it. I’ve been using the strawberry flavored Smackers for months and I love it coz it moisturizes my lips for hours and it doesn’t contain spf. I just need to know what brand of lip gloss I need to buy. I tried to research it but they seem to have the same ingredients so I’m having doubts about it lol. Does anybody know? Thanks

In a recent hospital visit, after nurses put in an I.V. site, the area around the adhesive tape became very red and tender. A minor rash broke out, but recently cleared up when the tape was removed. Not too long ago, after putting a Band-Aid on my neck, the area where the Band-Aid covered became very red, sore, and tender as well. I ended up having to take the Band-Aid off to ease the pain. It seems that I have experienced some dermatitis from the contact of the adhesive in the tape(s). I do not have a reaction with latex contact (gloves and/or condoms).

it starts around her mouth and spreads to her entire face. It swells to the point that her lips will crack. We apply ice packs and give benadryl but once it starts there is no stopping it. The swelling lasts around two days and the redness will last a week or more. after about three days, any affected skin will begin to peel like a healing sunburn. We have seen three doctors (including an allergist) they say “Contact Dermatitis” but have no idea what the irritant could be. They say to treat her with hydrocortisone cream and cold compresses. Also, to use vaseline on her lips. Maybe someone has had a similar experience or has heard of one and could give me some clues. My daughter is a nail biter, thus making it nearly impossible to pinpoint what exactly could be going into her mouth. I would appreciate any help i can get. I just can’t figure this out.

I’ve been suffering from contact dermatitis for a few weeks now and the only thing I can think of that’s new in my diet, environment, etc. is a current flea problem. I also sprayed my furniture with Hartz upholstery spray for fleas and that’s about when it started.
