Today, I have really painful pimples on my upper lip. I'm a professional trombonist, and every note causes excruciating pain. FML

I don't think people break out in zits from an allergy. Hives/rashes maybe, but not zits.

Couldn't you numb it with some wart freeze? It's a long shot but it may work..

Because that's exactly what you want. Not being able to feel your lips at all when playing a brass instrument. That would make it painful for the audience rather than OP.

I mean it might not be that bad, I play trumpet and when my lips are numb I can hit all the high notes! Now mid-lower range isn't the most reliable..

I've never heard of pimples on the mouth. is it similar to a cold sore?

Put some ice for about 2-3 minutes on the area before you play. You won't feel as bad as you feel know. A good trick to prevent having melted ice everywhere is to get a sponge soaked of water in the freezer and then put it on a Ziploc bag when it gets frozen. And keep your instrument clean!

When I was in band (trumpet), a friend of mine developed an allergy to his mouthpiece as the plating on it began to break down. Hope that's not what happened with you :(

"... and every note causes excruciating pain..." Yep! That's the trombone!

As a trumpet player, I know this pain! I feel bad for you OP. Hopefully your lip will clear up soon!

I feel your pain. I'm a technical deathcore guitarist who around July every year suffers from terrible dermatitis and dry skin on my hands and fingers. It'll get better
