Im a final year medical student. I am suffering from factitious cheilitis (lip sucking behavior ) exacerbated by caffeine , spicy foods. I was prescribed triamcinole ointment and been using this for past 6 months Are there any other possible measures that helps me get rid off this condition? Im very much concerned about the long term use of steroids Note:lft is normal, good oral hygiene practices
