Recurrent white dry patches on upper lip could be due to lip-lick dermatitis, fungal infection, or early vitiligo. Needs proper evaluation.
Next Steps
✔️ Keep area well moisturized, avoid frequent lip licking ✔️ Use gentle lip balm or barrier cream ✔️ Get examined by Cosmetologist/dermatologist to rule out fungal / pigment disorder ✔️ Treatment may include topical antifungal or mild steroid/immune-modulator depending on cause
Health Tips
Do not self-medicate with strong creams—proper diagnosis is important.
