Question: Hello,

I am XXXX and for the past two years I have been battling with very dry lips for which I always apply pure Vaseline petroleum jelly in lots of amount at night and also during the day. Two months ago I got this redness and fissures like soreness in my lower lips for which I consulted the doctor both in person as well as in this podium. They said it could be either allergy or chellitis and gave me centrizine for ten days along with hydrocortisone acetate cream to be applied . The doctor also said in such cases of severe peeling dry lips to apply the cream . Today after having my dinner which was from outside as there was a party at home , I happened to notice a small pimple like bump in the left vermillion border no pain no itching as such also when looked closely and when I asked my mother to feel it she said it felt more like a cut . I am soooo scared of herpes that I have taken both the tests two times six months ago and since then never have kissed anyone nor shared anybody toothbrush or tumbler as such . I am sharing the photos please help me

Hello doctor,

Thanks for your reply, I do take almost 5 litres of water everyday I use only ayush toothpaste ..... still I keep getting this kind of things is what irks me and that's what makes me so disturbed . Is it got to do with type of food I consume because I always have lot of milk products in my daily food . Also I do not apply any lip balm not even Vaseline . I do not go outside in the sun frequently . But I am taking anti depression tablet and sleeping pills daily as per my doctor advise for the past two months can this be the reason , I also taken b complex vitamin e supplements , where am I going wrong , now if I see myself in the mirror the redness. Is much lesss , what should I do stop looking in the mirror?

Hello doctor,

Thanks a lot for your reply . I have a few queries related to the kind of lip balm I can use for everyday purpose
1) almost 99% of the time I am at home and hardly go outside in the sun in that case can I still use sebamed lip balm even at night times or is it only for outside purpose
2) if I am not exposed to the outside air I am constantly inside the air conditioner room which makes my lips extremely dry flaky and peeling does sebamed work in this condition
3) I am not able to find our Vaseline petroleum jelly close to my place that's why I can't include it in my routine hence if not for sebamed or Vaseline can you please suggest any other lip balm I can use especially for sensitive skin like mine for daily indoor purpose or can I use sebamed itself

Hello doctor,
Thanks again for your reply , I did happen to buy nmf e lip balm but it contains aloe Vera and that did not suit me earlier also , so guess I am stuck with sebamed . I do have two of those sebamed with me not yet opened but purchased six months ago can I still use them or discard them and buy new .
