Hi, Hi, 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. It might be due to contact with some allergen or irritant.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...You consult dermatologist for firm diagnosis and treatment of its cause. Blood investigations may be done to rule out any internal disease or vitamin deficiencies. You may take folic acid 5 mg thrice a day with iron tab. Antibiotics may be needed if there is secondary bacterial infection. Apply antibitic cream with mild steroid like mometasone. Tacrolimus oint. may be applied at night. Zinc sulfate tab might be helpful.You may avoid soap,cosmetics and lipstik for good and fast result. You might get good result after few months.I hope this would help you in your treatment. Thanks.
