Lip bumps: May be herpetic or perioral dermatitis. For herpes use acyclovir and avoid sun as that exacerbates . Do not touch herpetic lesions directly as they are contagious. Wash hands immediately and do not rub eyes. Or may be perioral dermatitis / impetigo that needs antibiotics either topical or oral - dry weather / sun can worsen it. DO NOT use hydrocortisone f/u /w/ doc before trip.

Possible allergy: 15% of kids develop an allergy to sunscreens. Would try a hypoallergenic sunscreen and if not better would recommend doctor assessment
