Labio irritado con piel roja y descamada

Salud de la piel, uñas y cabello
1

Un pequeño pero definitivo punto localizado sobre mi labio (filtrum) ha estado rojo, descamándose, dolorido y, a veces, un poco picante desde enero. Nunca ha sanado por completo durante un período prolongado de tiempo y siempre ha requerido algún tipo de lubricante para evitar que se seque, se descame y se ponga más rojo. A veces, se ve completamente normal... durante unas horas o mientras está medicado. He consultado a varios médicos y ninguno ha podido prescribir soluciones de tratamiento que hayan ayudado a corto o largo plazo para abordar el problema de manera efectiva. 

Mi médico ha tomado una muestra de la zona y los resultados han dado negativo. Este fue el informe: 'No se observaron células polimorfonucleares, no se observaron células epiteliales escamosas, no se observaron organismos'

Mi médico ha diagnosticado lo siguiente:

enrojecimiento persistente y pequeñas pústulas en el labio, filtrum desde enero, a pesar de zovirax/caltrex/Hyderm

A lo largo de los meses, también he expuesto mi labio a muchos entornos diferentes sin cambio en ningún entorno (en condiciones protectoras seguras):

1) Clima extremadamente caluroso

2) Clima extremadamente frío

3) Luz solar directa

4) Sombra

He probado las siguientes soluciones sin abordar el problema de raíz y eliminar el problema - ¡por favor ayúdenme!!! Soluciones intentadas:

1) Aceite de árbol de té

2) Vaselina

3) Peróxido de hidrógeno

4) Zovirax

5) Bioderm (tratamiento antibiótico)

6) Crema GM Hyderm 1%

7) Crema de hidrocortisona 0.5%

8) Ungüento de Fucidin 2%

9) Aceite de vitamina E 100% puro

10) Crema facial (Complex 15, loción hidratante de Clinique)

11) Nada en la zona en absoluto 

¿Qué puede ser este problema? ¿Qué otras soluciones posibles puedo intentar? He proporcionado tiempo suficiente entre medicamentos, ungüentos y cremas e incluso pasé semanas sin poner nada en absoluto. El resultado sigue siendo el mismo: piel irritada, roja y escamosa que se inflama (?) sin desencadenantes específicos. 

No he puesto ninguna crema, loción, maquillaje, limpiadores, jabones o nada nuevo que no haya usado ya durante años. Desde la irritación, he dejado de usar todos los productos en esa zona entera. Solo he limpiado con agua y rara vez con jabón suave (por ejemplo, después de nadar o usar protector solar). 

¡Gracias por su atención, diagnóstico y sugerencias de remedios!!

I’ve had that same problem all my life It started when I was about 4-5 and I’m 35 now . I was given a cream my dad found that took the problem away as long as I use it at least once a week it doesn’t crack bleed or peel anymore . I would get so annoyed and insecure because it looked horrible but now it’s smooth again . As soon as I start to notice any flare up I put a pea size on and it’s gone in about a day or two . I used to go months with this problem and only have maybe one day a month of relief now it feels great almost all yr. it is a prescribed cream but can be found on eBay . It’s called gelmicin it’s an antifungal and it’s the only thing that’s ever worked for me . Ive tried about a million creams and remedies nothing ever worked but this. Hope you find relief . This cream hardly doesn’t sting or burn it’s pretty easy on the irritated skin. Good luck

Thank you stace06932! This is a good tip! But I used different product...

I suffered with the same symptom and had social anxiety throughout my young adult life.

I tried maintaining good diet, which in a way helped reducing my other skin issues like acne, blemishes and uneven skin tone. But the rash on my philtrum comes and goes without warning. Smiling and laughing were always painful. I lived in tropical weather country but I never thought that played a part with it, until I moved to South Korea for 3 years. That's when I realized the rash and flaky skin on my philtrum never came back throughout autumn winter and spring. I never changed my skin routine, but during these seasons I'll apply healing gel to get rid of the scars at that area.

Now I'm back in my home town, the rash seldom came back, but when it does I'll apply any non alcohol gel to relief the rash or at least stops it from getting worst. Not Vaseline, but Mentholatum Deep Moist Menthol Lipbalm was also my other counter measure to apply on my philturm, it's the only lipbalm I know works for me.

I also stopped taking claritin or loratadine, if possible. Reason is, I realized that when I took antihistamine the skin on my philtrum will get worst. But if I don't take antihistamine my philtrum area remained normal. So, I only took antihistamine if my allergy reaction is really really bad.

And unfortunately I had a bad allergy last week and I took 2 small tablets of antihistamine for 4 days in a row. AS expected it came like a nightmare. Irritation on the philtrum I can handle, but when it went up to the subnasale that's where it hurts!

So I googled everywhere for any cream that can heal this, and all said the same, no ultimate resolution. Until I found yours!!

Unfortunately we have no access to Gelmicin here in Asia, but by referencing to what the product contains, I found the closest thing. Basically I just go to Anti-Fungal cream counter and look for the ones with either Betametasona, Clotrimazol, and/or Gentamicina. The only anti-fungal cream I found only had Clotrimazol in it, but I tried it anyway... and it works!

Took me two days to patiently apply on the area, 3 times a day. And I always wiped the area clean first before putting new application. Now it's clear as day. The only set back now is to put healing cream on the crack wound on my subnasale. Now I can talk, smile and laugh again.

Hope this helps, as I know Stace06932 tips definitely did for me

Thanks!!

Hi ,i have had similar flare up on the philtrum area from my puberty onwards. Consulted many doctors in Singapore and everyone said its eczema and prescribed steroid. The whole area became very dark , and i feel very ashamed to face people. After 20 yrs, when i consulted a gynae in india, i shared this issue. She suggested to do the threading on that area. Sometimes, hair can get stuck and develop infection. I started threading and its disappeared. I ever thankful to her. Those who have not tried, please try and see.

Hello! I am experiencing the same issue since December 2022.
!!! I AM NOT A PERFESSIONNAL THIS IS MY EXPERIENCE AND IT MIGHT HELP YOU!!!
Description :
*Red/pink and sometimes it calms down
*Rash
*dry and cracked
*Inflamed and irritated
*Very sensitive
*Skin splits and bleeds
*Dark
*Burns
*Tight
*and hurts really bad

I did many research of what it could be and I found out that might be perioral dermatitis

Here is clear description of what it is.:
Inflammation of the skin around the mouth.
The exact cause of perioral dermatitis is unknown. Misuse of steroid creams may play a role.
Small, red, pus-filled bumps and mild peeling of the skin around the mouth are symptoms. The condition can also affect the skin around the nose, cheeks, and eyes.
A combination of self-care steps and medications, including topical agents, can help treat perioral dermatitis.

This is the descrpition of how mine looks and it feels like.

And here is what I tried:
*Hydrocortisone 1%
*bepanthen cream
*Aquaphor oniment
*Olive oil
*Reduce dairy and sugar
*covering it up
*Herb teas
*Lotes of water

Things that made it worse:
*Using Hydrocortisone cream
*Covering it up
*Using Bepanthen cream

  • Using Aquophor oniment
  • Using Olive oil
  • or using anything to moisterize it or any kind of reliving cream/gel

Things that actually helped:
*Not putting anything on it
*Reduce dairy and suger ( I think it helped a little )

  • Herb teas( I think it helped a little)
  • Not covering it up at all( When sleeping too)
