[|Human|] My lower lip and sides crack and itch so bad. it seems like I clear it up, then the condition reoccurs. I try everything from bacitracin, hydrocortisone, abreva, blistex, to petroleum jelly. I itching drives me crazy. I m scared to kiss my grandchildren for fear I ll pass a virus to them.
[|AI|]  Hello, Welcome to Chat Doctor, If itching is the only problem without any blisters it may not be a viral infection, you may be having allergic reactions. Test your blood sample for absolute eosinophil count (AEC) to confirm the presence of any allergic reactions, if the values are high it suggests that you may be allergic to some products. You can undergo Skin Prick Test to find out the allergen causing intense itching, and you can avoid that allergen for future occurrence of symptoms. For present condition you can take medicine like Monte LC, you can get this medicine by getting prescription from your doctor. Thank you.
