What Is The Treatment For Dry Mouth, Peeling Skin On Lips, And Cracking Corners Of Mouth?

YYYY@YYYY I have dry mouth. I have the skin on my lips peel off. The roof of my mouth behind my upper front teeth is very sore. I have whitish bumps around the nostrils, and the same at the corners of my mouth the corners of which crack. I would appreciate any help or advice you can give me. Thank you.

Hello, thank you for consulting with healthcaremagic.
As you are mentioning that you have noticed dry mouth, sore roof and cracks at the corner of the mouth, it looks that you have fungal infection of mouth, as all the symptoms match to it.
Better once you should visit your dentist get it completely examined and then start with the treatment, also get a complete blood picture done.
Hope it will help you.
Regards
