How Can I Get Rid Of This Light Ring Around My Mouth?
Hi. How can I get rid of this light ring around my mouth? It started when the skin got really dry and started peeling a bit and even started hurting and redenning. All that is done and has left a light ring around my mouth (I'm a 16 yr old African America female btw). I've been using Vaseline along with a cream the dermatologist gave me to try. I think it works fine but it has phases where it will get better then worse then better then worse again (like now). I'm gonna visit the derm again later but I just wanted to follow up online. Is there a faster way to get rid of it? Is what I'm doing alright? Will it ever go away? Thanks so much.
