Every morning when I wake up its difficult to open my lips.. As it feels like locked due to dry peeling... It's been almost 5 days now.Inner corner upper lips has tiny blister too .. I tried applying vaseline but next day lip got more swollen... I stopped everything now...What's the remedy? How long would it take to heal?

Hello there
Please note some good clinical pics together with a detailed history of your medical, personal, family status etc and possibly some lab investigations will help us evaluate this clearly and provide a clear action plan.
An allergic reaction or even a viral infection like Herpes simplex are possible diagnosis but will need some clear pics

An INSTANT ONLINE Consultation please to help give you a speedy solution.
Health Tips
Avoid these OTC products, usage remedies and self medication.
A cream like Fucidin-H may help you sort things out in the current situation... but get a Dermatologist' prescription 🙏
