How is eczematous on the lips diagnosed?

How is eczematous on the lips diagnosed?

Your healthcare provider evaluates your lips and checks for other areas of skin irritation or inflammation. They also review your health history, including any allergic reactions you’ve had in the past. Be sure to let them know if anyone in your family has a history of atopic dermatitis or other allergic skin conditions.

Your healthcare provider may perform tests to confirm a diagnosis of eczema on the lips:

• Allergy testing, such as a skin patch test or skin prick test, to find out if a specific substance is causing your lip irritation.
• Blood or urine tests to check for viral or bacterial infections.
