Dead skin over gums and on inner lips
Hello. I have been having this problem of dead skin accumulation over the inner lining of my lips, for over 8 months. On seeing a doctor, i have been prescribed to use fusidic acid cream. I have not seen much improvement after using it for 1 week or so. Also, I recently noticed that my gums are pigmented and occasionally they are covered with white dead skin.
Should I now visit a dentist or a dermatologist again ?
