Extreme dryness around mouth and lips
The skin around my mouth has become extremely dry and flakey. A lot of redness is also there. My lips have become extremely chapped to the point that I am having to apply lip balm at all times.
I face dry skin (face, hand, body) during winters, but they get resolved automatically during summers.
This time round, although there is no dryness in the rest of my face and body, but my mouth and lip area are still affected.
I have used general lip balms, Boroline, Vaseline, oils etc to soothe the dryness; but nothing has worked so far.
I have combination skin.
