Drying Skin
My skin above my lips is very dry and rough, and boroline and other moisturizers are not working. I have been using them for more than a month now.
How do I resolve it, the skin there is also turning a bit white.

Dry skin above the lips despite using moisturizer is commonly due to lip-licking habit, harsh face wash, weather changes, or mild dermatitis. Use a gentle cleanser and apply a thick, fragrance-free moisturizer or petroleum jelly 2–3 times daily. Avoid licking the area. You may apply a little coconut oil at night for soothing. If redness, itching, or darkening persists, proper evaluation is advised. You may visit our clinic for detailed assessment and suitable treatment.
