Why Is My Daughter Getting Chapped Lips With Red Dots Inside Of Her Lower Lip?
My 2 and a half year old daughter has getting chapped lips with tiny red dots inside of her lower lip. They look like tiny pen marks. They are not raised, nor have a center. They look more like they are under the skin. What is it? Should I be concerned?

hello thanks for consulting at hcm..lip chapping could be due to frequent lip licking by tongue, constant soaking in saliva,, and also could be due to frequent lip biting,,hence apply vaseline to her lips ,hydrate her well, if problem persists plz consult a pedodontist for lip bumber appliance so that lip biting can be avoided,,hope it helps,,take care,,
