What Is The Treatment For Dry Skin Patches?
I was experiencing numbness in my lips then a day later what seemed to be a cold sore appeared but, it is more just a small patch of dry, dark skin in the corner of my mouth. I just changed my facial wash so I thought I was allergic. I haven't used the wash in days but the dry patches are increasing and the numbness seems to be spreading to my nose and chin. What should I do?

Hi,
It may be angular cheilitis. Riboflavin deficiency may be the cause. Kindly consult the dermatologist for the perfect diagnosis and proper treatment.
I would suggest...
- riboflavin containing tablet like FDson plus thrice a day
-vitamin E & aloevera containing cream to apply on the lesions
I hope this help you.
Thanks.
