Redness around your lips can be from a variety of things.





1) it can be caused by an allergy to anything you put on your lips (lipsticks etc).





2) It can be that you have an irritation that you don't know about. For example, when people brush their teeth they often don't rinse well and leave a tiny bit of toothpaste in the corners of their mouth.





3) probably the most COMMON cause is lip licking. Stop licking your lips if you are doing this.








You can treat redness around your lips with Hydrocortisone 2.5% ointment. They sell 1% in the pharmacy without a prescription. I would start with that first. Give it a few weeks. If you need something stronger see your doctor.How can i get rid of redness around my lips?
Take a multi vitamin


drink more water


use a pure and natural face wash (Aveeno, or something like that)


add pure vitamin e to the area before bed.


Instead of make up use a tinted moisturizer it helps conceal + adds good things to your skin.
keep on using the carmex--just dab a little in the corners where it's still red--the redness should go away after a few days of constant use......
you might want to try some chapstick or lip balm to protect your lips. around this time of year as it gets colder your lips take a beating!
Try putting some different lip balm on the red areas. The skin around there is probably just chapped.
