My daughter has quite bad eczema around her lips and eyes, we have managed to get it under control but she has flare ups when she is in contact with some allergens that irritate it. We don’t know what these are so this can happen around twice a month. Her eczema will then flare up around her eyes and mouth. In February my daughter got this patch. The days prior all her lips were very dry and we were using her steroid cream around her lips to help. That got better but this patch didn’t. She was scratching around her lips and I remember her scratching this patch. She didn’t have any blisters or any weeping or anything like that. It went away for 2 weeks then it became sore again, was red and had a little cut. That healed quite quickly and she now still has this dry patch in the same spot. I can’t get it to go away as much as I moisturise it. I did send pictures to a gp before and I was told it doesn’t look like a cold sore, but what is your opinion on this? Could it be one or as there is still a dry patch there now, could it be eczema as there was no blister or effects that might occur with a first outbreak? I’ve uploaded pictures of it.
