Dr. Dan’s CortiBalm, made with 1% hydrocortisone, is the solution for lip inflammation, which is caused from a variety of conditions. For example, extreme weather can cause lip inflammation. In this case, factors such as cold weather, sun, wind, and low humidity can affect the lips. In addition, different chemicals can cause irritation. Some common chemicals are found in cosmetics, mouthwash, and toothpaste. Medications, such as Accutane can also result in extremely dry lips. Finally, recurring lip licking and mouth breathing can cause lip inflammation.

Dr. Dan’s recommends using our medicated lip balm, Cortibalm, for two weeks until the irritation is resolved. After this, we recommend using a hypoallergenic lip balm. Cortibalm is effective because it is free of harsh chemicals. In addition, it is free of allergens from plant oils that exist in most lip balms on the market today. On top of that, Cortibalm is certified by SkinSAFE as 100% Top Allergen free.
