Not herpes

Detailed Answer:
Hello

Thanks for the query

Dry lips and altered taste in the mouth could mean Vit B complex deficiency. I suggest you to start Vit b complex tablets which is easily available in all pharmacy. Please continue taking them one tablet a day for a month.

This symptom is not a sign of herpes.
