I've had the cold (definitely not covid, have had 2 negative tests) since Wednesday evening. Runny, blocked nose, bit of a sore throat, tired. Otherwise feel fine.
At work on Friday my lips started feeling really tingly, especially around the edges. Then yesterday morning I noticed in the mirror that they were really red, as though I was wearing lipstick. Not so tingly but feeling a bit tight. Today they feel tight and constrained and rough/dry. I have been applying my usual lip balm in case they're just dry, but it doesn't seem to be helping.
The tightness is quite uncomfortable and I'm self-conscious about the roughness. Anyone have any ideas what's going on?!
