I know this is an older topic but I too have this problem. There are very few balms that don't do this to me and it also happens with a bunch of lipglosses/lipsticks. I always forget to bring it up to my doctor but it was really bad the other day when I went to see him (he's just a GP) about some other issues. He said it's just contact dermatitis and I could just go ahead and use an OTC hydrocortizone on it. I decided to go with one from Aveeno since it seemed like it might be less drying. I've been using it since Thursday night and it's already almost totally cleared up.

I still want to see an allergist about it so I know what to watch out for but I kinda overwhelmed him so I forgot to ask for a referral.

LADY BUG lipstick!!

every time that i apply it my lips burn and itch !!

strange cause it's the only lipstick that does that out of all MAC l/sticks!!!!

Thank GOD I haven't had this problem. I hoped it cleared up for everyone who had the problem, though!

I'm not gonna so readily swatch random glosses from now on, though!

For some reason Jubilee lipstick made my lips burn/ feel itchy today :/ I have no idea why because it's never done that before. Colour Works lipgloss makes my lips burn too. I'll try Jubilee again tomorrow, I'm hoping it was a one off.

I was using a Revlon lipstick for quite a while and I noticed all of a sudden that every time I would use it my lips would get really badly chapped and the skin around my mouth would get itchy. I switched to MAC lipstick and haven't had a problem since. I tried a Rimmel lipstick recently and had the same reaction after only a day so I am wondering if I developed an allergy to something that is put in cheaper lipsticks. Not sure what though. Good luck!

MAC tinted lipglass.

Everything else by mac is fine on my lips - lipsticks, slimshines, dazzleglasses, tendertones...

I'll have to look into ingredients list because I really wonder what's that thing in tinted lipglasses that makes my lips all itchy an ad painful plus rashes appear that don't go away for days.

I'm not sure if this was an allergic reaction but....

Ulta Lip Plumping lipgloss HURT!
I know most plumping lipgloss is supposed to tingle, but this one BURNED.
My lips felt raw for days after using it.
