• Likely chronic lip dermatitis (cheilitis), most probably irritant/allergic contact type • Recurrence despite steroids/tacrolimus suggests trigger not identified (lip balms, toothpaste, cosmetics, lip licking habit) Next Steps: • Stop all current lip products (lipsticks, flavored balms, cosmetics) • Use only plain petroleum jelly (Vaseline) frequently • Switch to SLS-free toothpaste • If persistent → get patch testing by dermatologist Helpful Tips / Words of Caution: • Avoid lip licking, spicy/acidic foods during flare • Do not overuse steroids → can worsen condition long term • Identify and avoid trigger = key to cure • Keep lips well moisturized and protected from sun/win Kindly consult with me via Practo for a detailed evaluation and treatment
