If you’re having an active flare, Dr. Dan’s cortibalm has 1% hydrocortisone. This is the only brand I’ve found OTC that has a lip balm with hydrocortisone. Just be sure to use it sparingly.*

I’m currently testing a line of lip balms for everyday use and am happy so far. After I’ve used it for a few weeks, I’ll post a review.
