My lips have been very irritated and are now weeping and crusty, which my dermatologist said is weeping eczema. It's quite uncomfortable and looks bad. What are the treatments for this condition, especially on the lips?

Weeping eczema on lips sounds really painful and uncomfortable. Please don't ignore it or try to self-diagnose. I once ignored a small skin irritation on my face, and it just got worse and spread. For sensitive areas like lips, it's best to see a dermatologist right away; they'll know exactly what to do.

My dermatologist explained that weeping eczema often indicates an acute flare-up or secondary infection. For lips, they usually prescribe a very mild topical steroid or a calcineurin inhibitor, along with barrier creams to protect and heal. It's crucial not to pick or lick the lips and to identify any triggers like certain lip products or foods. Definitely needs a proper medical evaluation.
