Suggest Remedy For Chronic Burning And Peeling Lips

I ve had burning and excessive peeling lips for about a month. Prednisone has helped a lot, but now Im done with medication and no longer want to take it due to side effects. The condition still lingers somewhat. Is there something over the counter I can now use to help?4

Welcome to Health Care Magic Team.

Understanding your concern.

Excessive burning and peeling of lips could be because of no. Of reasons like
- Hormonal imbalance
-Diet imbalance
-Fungal infection

Treatment should be as per the cause of lip burning and peeling.

Avoid licking, picking and touching.

Apply remedies like natural lip balm , cold compresses with vinegar and water, desi ghee directly to your lip.

Hydrocortisone cream or lactic acid lotions like lactocalamine best treatment option for early relief.

Diet should be full of fruits, fresh vegetables, probiotics.

Increase intake of vitamin D, food rich in iron , omega 3 fatty acids and zinc.

If it will still persists with symptoms of pain and burning then you have to consult dermatologist.
