Swollen above upper lip

Hi all,

For a few weeks I've had a slightly raised, slightly red area above my upper lip.


I've tried vaseline, and a hydrocortisol 1% cream, haven't seemed to do much..

Any thoughts?

Thankyou!!

Unfortunately not!

Went to the GP - have been on some antihistamines.
Probably a bit worse since i took this photo.

No! still an issue
Trying different toothpastes, avoiding aftershaves and soaps on that area... any other ideas?
