How To Treat Chronic Reddish Swelling On Lips With Chapping?
I am suffering more than 6 month with lips problems. Lips are reddish, swelling, unable to take even little chili, lower lip getting just like crack at center. I approached skin, Dentist specialist but not curried. I feel lips are subjected to ulcer. pls tell whom specialized direct to approach.
You seem to have chronic cheilitis. There may be erythema,dryness,mild scaling, fissuring and crusting. You might have mild pain,burning and itching. There may be some cause. Lip licking might exacerbate the disease. Sunrays exposure, cosmetics,lipstiks tooth paste, dusts...etc might be resposible. Vitamin B complex deficiencies,anaemia or nutritional inadequacy might cause the disease.k You consult dermatologist for firm diagnosis and its cause.
Have blood tests to rule out any internal disease or vitamin deficiencies.
You may take folic acid 5 mg thrice a day with iron tab. Anyptibitics may be needed if there is secondary bacterial infection. Apply antibitic cream with mild steroid like mpmetasone. You may avoid soap,cosmetics and lipstik for good and fast result.
You might get good result after few weeks. I hope this would help you in your treatment.
Thanks.
