Discontinue Neosporin as neomycin is one of the most common contact allergens in this country. Use of the counter hyrdocortisone 1% ointment 2 times and a day for up to 2 weeks. Keep the lips well greased up throughout the day with vaseline or Aquaphor, nothing else. Try not to lick your lips as this only makes the problem worse. Before putting on the hydrocortisone ointment, gently wipe off the vaseline or Aquaphor, then apply. A good time to put on the hydrocortisone is before bed time.
