Flakey lips and white scaling

2025-06-08 13:22:35
I have extremely chapped lips and a constant white layer ( scaling) keeps forming on it the entire day both on the lips and inside the lips it's so bad that if I don't remove it my lips get pasted together. No one could diagnose what the issue is except for one dr who said it's actinic cheilitis but even after a long treatment the problem persist. It's extremely problematic as if I apply any lip balm or even with the contact of water the scaling forms and if I don't apply anything it gets very flakey and painful . When I try to remove the scaling lips often swells and it hurts so bad. I don't know what to do please help. THANKYOU .
