Having Eczema on your lips is always a tricky situation. One of the worst ways to aggravate your Eczema is to eat foods that are overly salty or acidic. These foods will obviously touch your lips before entering your mouth. Have you ever been in an ocean with an open cut? Have you ever squirted lime or lemon juice on a wound? You are doing the same thing every time you let salty or acidic foods touch your lip eczema.
You need to keep your lips moisturized throughout the day. I suggest putting petroleum jelly or other lip balm treatments on your lips 4-5 times a day.
Eczema is very similar to acne, you can try to avoid breakouts, but you cannot stop everything. If you do get lesions on your skin it is not the end of the world. Eczema lesions are painful and unsightly, but they will get better after a few days. Be sure to treat your lesions with care and do not take this situation lightly.
Keeping your lips moisturized is not only the best way to treat an eczema lesion, it is also the best way to prevent it. In the winter I notice my skin and lips get very dry, this is when Eczema likes to attack. Use lotion, lip balm… anything it takes.
There is no magic cure to eczema, you have to make sure you are taking the proper steps to treating and preventing your lip eczema.
