Suggest Treatment For Dry And Peeling Lips
Hi there I fell and put my front tooth thru my bottom lip on Sunday- its healing but my lips are very very scabby, peeling and dry - not as swollen as they were the last two days. I ve been using bascitracin but not sure if there is something else I can use to heal my lips? YYYY@YYYY

Hello,
Your concern is Cheilitis. It needs to be evaluated properly by physical examination. The most common causes are dehydration, cosmetics, tooth paste etcetera.
You can try Bariderm lip balm thrice daily after having water. Meanwhile, report to the dermatologist, nearby you.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Sandeep Golla
