    You are allergic to the lip balm you have used. Try a different brand.

    Drink plenty of water.

    Mix honey with sugar for a gentle lip exfoliation.

    Avoid lip balms with Petroleum.

    Replace lip balm with a tiny dot of natural coconut oil found at most organic stores.

    You could also buy a soft tooth brush to gently exfoliate your lips but not daily.

    Use chapstick. Lip is safe to use. You are probably allergic to something in the lip balm you just used.
