Lips redness, dryness and tender

2025-10-25 06:05:41
Since last 10 months I am suffering with intermittent dry, red and inflamed lips and surrounding area on my lips. I have shown dermatologists also. Some suggested using odour free lip balm, which I did. Left using lipstick or any makeup in the mouth area. As prescribed, I apply fusidic acid cream and combine desonide when there is irritation and excess redness but this is all temporary for couple of days. I have reduced consumption of spicy food, left eating prawns and reduced consumption of eggs as advised by 1 doctor. But that is not helping either. I am not sure what is the cause and I am worried because this constant dryness and redness impacts my daily life. Kindly suggest.

Avoid all topical agents for one week and apply bland emmolient like Vaseline jelly every now and then. Avoid lip smacking. Consult if not subsiding. Takes time.
