I'm trying to fathon out the lip thing. If it was an allergy to the mouthpiece then you would expect it to affect both top and bottom lips. Do you have allergy to latex that you are aware of? Other thing could be pressure forn the reg on the upper lip causing localised increased blood flow.
Swap mouthpiece and see what happens. I assume there are plastic rather than latex based mouthpieces out there.
Take some antihistamine, hayfever type stuff and see if that makes a difference.

I've no idea myself Bill. I'd have expected top and bottom lip and maybe some gum and tongue swelling (not good!), but nothing like that...just the top lip. I don't have a latex allergy (latex seals are fine and leave no rashes or marks).
I'm going to look for a hypo-allergenic (sp?) one and replace it. Maybe it's a compound rubber and one of the compounds is causing the reaction?
The pressure idea is interesting, and it could be something to do with that...
Looking for antihistimine as I type
