What is this on lips
My lips stay dry a lot and whitish layer forms today I tried to rub them from teeth and now some yellowish/ whitish thing is in middle..
Pls help
Its burns and hurts when touched
It could be due to some trauma on your lips or due to dryness on your lips.
Don't try to pull it off, because more you try to pull it, the more trauman you may create on your lips.
Simply apply some moisturizing lip balm or simple vaseline.
Drink a lot of water.
Stay safe n healthy
