just tripped across this post after drinking 2oz of Kim Crawford and getting immediate itchy peeling lips again (which has been torturing me for the last 2 years on and off with no explanation). Been to dermatologist and allergist and had every test in the book with no consensus. So exciting to find this site with some clues as to the source of the problem. I can drink other wines without immediate symptoms. Would welcome insights from others as to triggers to avoid. Have always had hay fever related allergies but this lip chelitis is new in the last two years (I am 52).
]]>for a year and a half, I have “chapped lips”…been to an allergist and two dermatologists….no anwers:( It started probably around the time I started drinking wine. I only drink white (Pinot Grigio). My lips and above top lip gets red, they are itchy and dry. I constantly need Vaseline on them. Then they peel! It’s gross and embarrassing. I’m wondering if it’s the sulfites in the white wine???
