Is Chapped Lips,rawness Inside Lips And Gums With Dryness Between Front Teeth And Lips Serious?

My lips have been chapped for about 2 months and I put chap stick on them many times a day. The inside of my lips taste raw, and my gums (Upper and Lower) in the front of my mouth feel raw. Between my front teeth and lips feel extra dry. This is really worrying me because it hasn't gone away. My dr. gave me some "Magic Mouthwash with nystatin" to try, but it didn't make the problem go away. I plan to make an appointment with my dentist this week. I'm worried this could be serious. What do you think?

thanks for your query, the rawness could be because of any ulcer secondary to trauma by chopstick. the dryness should be ruled out by checking your salivary gland..this could be because of the stone causing obstruction of the salivary gland but it involves all the areas...you can use wet mouth gel for dryness...the nystatin is antifungal that will not help...consult a oral physician for further...i hope my answer will help you...
