Anyone else get a flare up at the same point in their cycle every month?

I started paying attention and mine shows up like clockwork a few days before my period, almost every month. I always blamed stress or weather but the timing is too consistent to be a coincidence. My doctor kind of shrugged when I mentioned hormones as a trigger, which was frustrating. Curious if other women have noticed this pattern and if anything actually helped you get ahead of it.

Really glad you shared this. What has helped me most is treating it as a prevention question rather than a treatment one. Track your own triggers for a few weeks, get ahead of the risky days, and protect the lip barrier before the sun, wind, or a bad night of sleep can set things off.

For me the tingle gives me a few hours of warning at most.

I keep a balm in every pocket now, it really does help.

Yes, mine shows up like clockwork a couple days before my period starts, so I've started being extra gentle with myself that week and it honestly helps a little just knowing it's coming.

Yes, mine shows up like clockwork a few days before my period, and for years I thought it was random until I started marking it on my calendar. Knowing it's coming at least lets me be extra gentle with myself that week and keep my lips protected before it even starts.
