I've been having some serious lip problems recently. It started about a week ago with pain on my lips, and things have only gone downhill from there. Even though I've been staying hydrated, taking antihistamines, and using Vaseline religiously, my lips are now dry, constantly sore, and have a yellow crust on them. There's also been some itchiness inside my mouth, which I'm not sure if it's related to oral allergy syndrome or if it's something else brewing. This itchiness popped up even when I hadn't eaten anything recently, which makes me suspect it might be something else. I'm really concerned and looking for some guidance on what could be happening and what steps to take next. What do you think I should do?

View allI've been dealing with a case of Acute Paronychia and it seems like it's getting better. The swelling's gone down, and I managed to squeeze out a lot of pus and discharge from the abscess, which I think cleared it out. But I'm not entirely sure, 'cause some odd things are leaving me questioning. Like, I peeled off some dry skin around the swelling area and noticed there's still a bit of a bump. Should I be worried, or is this normal during recovery?
Probable diagnosis is fungal infection , candid cream for local application, once daily for 2 weeks is advised, also tab levocetrizine 10 mg at bedtime for 7 days is advised, if any allergic reactions dermat opinion is advised.
