What Causes Burning Sensation Of Lips After Accidental Contact With Sulphur?
Question: my lips have a burning sensation Did accidently rubbed sulfur on them
Brief Answer:
Irritant dermatitis
Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome to healthcaremagic
I am Dr. Kakkar. I have gone through your query and I have understood it.
Surely, you have developed irritation to sulphur. Sulphur is an inherent irritant as well as keratolytic/exfoliant, and since the skin covering the lips is delicate therefore you got this burning feeling over the lips.
I would suggest that you apply a moderatly potent topical steroid e.g fluticasone propionate cream, twice daily. That should make it fine.
Regards
