Sandpaper Lip Rash

by Anonymous

I have had strep throat for about a week. I live in New York and right now it's very cold and snowy, and I am on antibiotics. Two days ago I noticed a sandpaper-like feeling on my upper lip in a little cluster, but you can't see them. You can only see the rash if you look really hard in good lighting because it has no color. The rash is not swollen and there is no itch, no burn, and my lips look normal.

However, it started to spread with just 2 or 3 other dots on the rest of my upper lip and none on the bottom. I can only feel them if I lick my lips or rub my lips together since they're too fine and small for my finger to feel. Also, right next to the first cluster is a small bump that is red and visible bordering my skin and lip, but it doesnt hurt.

I have tried exfoliating my lips and moisturizing them but it doesn't help.
