Quite recently, I developed a non-understandable allergy on my upper lip area and I was all confused what it was and how did it arrive at my door step!
It was almost like a rash cum spot cum faded skin-thingy that appeared on my lip one day.
I tried all the googling and tried all the home-remedies. Stopped looking at my MAC lipsticks for once, kept all make up aside for a week - only to realize it is something that I have stored on my head - yes beautiful snowy almost innocent dandruff (lovingly, (with despair), called - Ms. Dandy!)
I realized it was time to visit the dermatologist for my lip condition. And what she says - Yep! Ms. Dandy has invited a friend in your lip area... It was not all dandruff that resulted in that lip rash but also my undying habit of smacking my lips, worsened the situation.
Now Ms. Dandy lived with me always, My mum described how I was born with a flakey head. With time, it all reduced but off-late because of some change in probably weather, probably travel, probably pollution, probably lifestyle etc. it got triggered once again and decided to slither down to my lips.
Well to how I dealt with it...
My entire facial skin was scanned and I was told something triggered, with long standing dandruff and smacking of my lips, so I was given some antibiotics to deal with my internal system if it is triggering the allergy, which I had to take for once a week for four weeks and then I was told to use the following products in addition, which worked beautifully.
*Bioderma Node DS+ shampoo - for dandruff - every wash primarily for scalp (can read here)
*Diprovate Hair Lotion - prior to shampooing - for dandruff - 15 mins prior to every wash for 20 days
*Uriage Bariederm Levres lip balm - every time before use of any lip product (can read here)
*Sensidiene Micellar Water - twice a day before application of below products
*Medicinal lip cream - Tenovate M
*Medicinal face cream - Nadoxin C
Well, it took about 4 full days for these products and medication to work and solve my allergy. I still stay away from any matte lip product, just in case, as I don't want to disturb the treatment.
Since most are for solving some particular allergy, few products from these can be used for other times as well like the Sensidiene Micellar Water, Bioderma Node DS+ shampoo (incase if you have mild to worse dandruff problem) and I totally recommend the Uriage Bariederm Levres lip balm for regular usage.
