For Dry Skin "Last night I used the Raspberry Lemonade Blistex as a chapstick, and when I woke up the next morning, my lips felt very itchy. There were bumps on my lips, and it was red. I had a rash like it last year, but I realized it wasn't the same thing. I took Claritin, hoping to make it better because everyone says to use an antihistamine. I hope this helps!!!"

For Dry Skin "I bought this same lip balm, Blistex Orange Mango Blast, and my lips swelled up, and now they are bumpy, scaly, and burning! I have been putting plain Vaseline on my lips because they are so dry and chapped. I believe it was this lip balm because I have had no other problems before using this product!"

For Dry Skin "I started using the Blistex Fruit Smoothies Strawberry Coconut as well. Noticed itchy bumps around my lips, then they swelled. I immediately washed it off and took an antihistamine. Hope it works out for me. Right this minute, my lips are on fire."

For Dry Skin "A couple of weeks ago, I used a brand new Blistex Fruit Smoothies Strawberry Coconut chapstick. I noticed that my lips started to swell and become scaly, red, and bumpy. I didn’t know what it was, so I went to the pharmacist, who told me it was an allergic reaction. It looked like I had red bumps all around the outer ring as if I had lip injections. It finally calmed down with antihistamines after several days. Then last week, I used the Blistex again, and my lips literally doubled in size and were burning, itching, scaly, and bumpy within hours. I even had difficulty breathing and a tingly throat. I took antihistamines and immediately phoned the doctor. The only change I had was the Blistex, so I went online and found dozens of other similar experiences with this horrible product. I cannot understand how this is on the market, especially since reactions can become worse over time. Absolutely terrible product."
