Symptoms are-
1- cut on the corners of the lip
2- redness , drying and itching around the lip area
3- burning sensation all the time
4- transparent sticky liquid discharge around lip area and after some time it becomes dry and become yellow/ brown color hard shell.
5- after applying lip balm my lip remain dry all the time.
Is this some infection or some nutritional deficiencies?
