A member asked:

Few months ago i had cold sores on my lips for the first time. now, i have allergic reactions to lipstick i used regularly. can i still use lipstick?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Lipstick allergy: Allergies can arise at anytime-- the immune system is constantly on the lookout for invaders, so u can kind of understand how this happens. That said, if your lipstick is giving u problems u have to stop using it. There are many ingredients in lipstick- red dyes, lanolin & some even with fish scales! which could explain the specifics of your allergy b/c these are common allergens. Try other brands
