What Causes Burning Sensation On The Lips ?
Question: I have chronic burning along the line where my lips meet facial skin. Of course salty foods make it worse, but never really goes away. I'm embarrassed when I go out in public, because I look like a little kid who got into their mother's lipstick and didn't know where to stop! But the worst part is the pain and discomfort that is almost constant.
Brief Answer:
Steroid ointment
Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for the query.
This unusual sensitive skin is called as neuralgia.
It is a common thing.
I usually treat such cases with topical steroid creams and have seen good response.
You can try ointment fluticasone.
Let me know if you have any other doubts.
Thank you
