    None of us here are a valid replacement for medical advice in person. March back to that doctor of yours and say "NOW WHAT??" If it's perioral dermatitis for example you'll need a prescription to clear it. And then slap that silly doctor on the way out for the lazy advice of let it play out.

    Definitely seek medical advice! Like Cudders said, we're not drs. We can only try to relate and offer opinions.

    That said, I was in your position a few weeks ago. My dr. asked if I licked my lips a lot. Yep...it's freaking Winter in Indy! Duh! She asked what I used for balm...Burt's Bees.
    Essentially, I gave myself a "yeast infection/thrush." She prescribed an ointment and told me to use Chap-Stick.

    It's gone and I feel better. Although, I will go back to my Burt's Bees because I can't stand the greasy stuff Chap-Stick is.

    Go to a dr. and watch licking your lips.

    Thanks to all who've answered, but for MY SAKE, let's please stop conjecturing. I actually asked for advice from people who've experienced a dry burn after working out and not for conjecture about STDs, etc.

    I don't think anyone was trying to upset you - they were just giving honest suggestions. How would anyone know that you're in a monogamous relationship with someone who is regularly tested for STDs? That information wasn't included in your original post.

    This.

    I have a latex allergy, which was mis-diagnosed as somethingorother dermititus. The doctor finally figured it out when I went into shock from all the prodding with latex gloves.

    It happens to me in the winter also - red, slightly raised, irritated. Keeping my face clean and putting Neosporin on it generally clears it up in a couple of days.

    I forgot to say it burns too.

    Neutrogena Norwegian Hand Cream. That's hard to spell. I like the Soft Lips too, it isn't as shiny as some other products.
