Hi Dr., I have a small rough patch on my lips which feels so dry and scaly and it is bit paining/ burning like chapped lips. It is only on one small area of lips and it has been 4-5 weeks it has not resolved. Please look at the attached photo. Please can you advice what should i do? What could this be? Rest of my lips feel fine except this patch. Please help.
