Dry, Chapped Lips Especially Around The Edges. Taking Vitamin B And A Tablets. Suggestions?
Dear Dr xxxxx, my lips are dry for last ONE month and sometime I see cracks on my lips especially at the mouth edges. I have been using Vaseline for last 1 month regularly but I do not think it is improving as such. For last 1 week I have been taking Vitamin-B and Vitamin-A tablets (twice a day). Can you suggest me some medicines.
Hello dear.
Thanks for the query.
It is true that dry chapped lips specially at the corners is usually caused by vitamin B complex deficiency.
However the response to treatment with vitamins is often poor.
Usually a topical medication is required. Please apply oint mupirocine daily in morning and oint tess in night for 10 days. Along with this also keep taking vitamins. You will get good relief.
Thank you
