Suggest Treatment For Dark Pigmentation And Dryness On Lips

Posted on Mon, 5 Oct 2015

Question: Hi,
My lups are really chapped and dark for last couple weeks. I have tried lip balms and they were making it really itchy.

I been applying honey for last two days so it feels little greasy. I have been drinking lots of water, but its not helping. I do feel feverish time to time.

Brief Answer:
chapped lips

Detailed Answer:
Thank you for contacting HCM with your health care concerns

You have been having severe chapped lips that are not healing despite using lip balms and honey. This sounds like you not only have chapped lips but you may also have a secondary infection from the cracked skin. I would recommend two things for you I would recommend using neosporin ointment on you lips for the next week. This would help stop any infection and also help with the dryness. I would also suggest instead of using lip balms try using vitamin E ointment. The combination should help you get this problem controlled
