Allergy: It sounds like you are having an allergic reaction to something, either an ointment you used around the mouth or a food you consumed. The AD will not reduce this a steroid cream may help but I would see your doctor if this does not get better in a day or so or you become feverish

Allergic reaction?: Sounds like an allergic reaction to something? I'm not sure A&D will help much. I would try some Benedryl instead. If the swelling worsens or you have trouble breathing you need to go to an Urgent Care or ER right away.

Perhaps an allergy: What you are describing may be an allergic reaction--either to a medicine or cosmetic that you are putting on your face, exposure to something like poison I've (where you touch your face after brushing against it) or a reaction to a food or medicine. A & D ointment won't hurt, but it's not anti-allergy. Anti-allergy medicines and creams are available over the counter. If it persists see a doctor.
