Suggest Remedy For Dry Peeling Skin

I had very dry peeling skin that sheds almost every day around my lip area, sometimes it seems to be ok, but then it returns to be dry again. In the mornings it feels as if there is a film of skin around the area, and it feels very tight, and when I stretch my mouth by yawning or eating the skin cracks and kinda rips. Sometimes its really red, and other times it's not. The line where the edge of the lip (Where you would put lip liner on) meets the facial skin seems like its moulded into each other, and sometimes very sensitive to touch.Been going on for about 3 months now with varying degrees of severity, never happened before. I'm not sexually active, never gave any form of oral sex, it's really irking me now, especially since I started University now, and it's really embarrassing, I've tried nearly everything, please help! Thanks

Dermatologist 's  Response
Hello,

I can understand your concern for the dry peeling skin .

During dry weather and winter conditions it is quite simple and normal phenomenon so there is nothing to be worried about the same.

You can apply an emollient on regular basis mutiple times a day so that the dryness can be controlled.

keep yourself hydrated and drink plenty of liquids.
Even if you are worried then I suggest you to meet a dermatologist and take guidance accordingly.

All the best.
