Skin allergy around mouth
Used betnovate for 4 months last year around the mouth area. Consulted doctors after that they have given the non steroid gel to used for some time amd tapper down. But it's been 1 year now, still dealing the same problem painful cracker on lips, flakiness, extreme dryness, itching, burning sensation. Every week it gets worse. Cannot use any lip products whenever i try to do so it get worse. Using only petroleum gel. And no steroid gel when it's unbearable. i have been told that skin get used to the steroid that i have used. It's been so long i have no hopes left that it will get treated. I don't know What is the name of the problem that i am dealing with? Is this curable? Any ingredient that is triggering the condition? Any test to know what's causing this? If any doctor has my answers please reply i want a genius treatment as it is effecting my day to day life and my mental health also. Thankyou!

If you are Bangalore based, best to be seen in person or at best a video call on an Online Consultation for best results if from outside Bengaluru.
Clear pics of your condition and then follow up for 3-6 weeks is needed to clear all this.
Detailed history especially of Stressors etc is important and for this reason too, 📥 is best. Understand how this can be frustrating.
Perioral Dermatitis, Cheilitis , Rosacea ...multiple diagnostic terms come to mind but a detailed consultation is required to help you.
Avoid OTC products usage (over the counter) and Betnovate is a strong steroid that i never prescribe especially for face lesions
Use a cleanser as opposed to 🧼🫧 soap.
Creams will have to be tailor made as per your condition but a good quality ☀️ screen with built in moisturizer is best used from dawn to dusk.
Godspeed 🙏
