Oh, wow. My son gets this, too. I think it could be related to a chemical sensitivity to the soap at his school, because it always seemed to get better on weekends and worse again on week days. They would start out bright red and hot to touch. Then he would put them in his mouth to try to relieve it, and they would get chapped, making it worse. A vicious cycle. Benadryl did seem to help with the inflammation. Coconut oil helped with the chapping. We use castile soap at home, so I got a couple bars of castile soap for him to use at school, which seems to have helped (knocking on wood).
