Cracked Lips And Bleeding All Around The Mouth. Used Steroid Cream With No Result. Problem?
My grandson lips breaks out dry scabby and cracked and sometimes bleed and around his mouth too and the doctors don't seem to know why. It's been happening now for about eight months and never before that. One doctor prescribed some steroid cream which seems to take it away after a week but when we don't put it on him it comes right back. What condition possibly could that be?
