Yes: Smear some clear Vaseline just around your skin adjacent to your mouth. It's called a barrier dressing. Just like when kids lick their lips and develop perleche. You have your skin, grease, and the irritant. Too bad for you that you won't be able to easily enjoy all of those delicious curries for a while. You can get tubes of petrolatum to carry in your purse.
