See an allergist: There are multiple causes for lip swelling. You can continue doing what you are doing but you need to see an allergist asap. If the swelling extends into the tongue or thoat, head to the er immediately. Meanwhile, stop all new medications, supplements and/or make up products.

Get good diagnosis: My first question is why did this happen. After that question is answered, you may have a fungal infection dues to length of time, use of antibiotics, or other factors. This can be very easy to treat. Chuck.
