I have a problem Dr, my lips just keep producing dead layers every day for almost 8 years.. Am tired of seeing so called doctors who just take people s money and never get you the right medication. I am 29 years of age and i feel embarrassed when people keep question me about my lips... I live in Nairobi-Kenya. Please help

Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concern..

As per your complain it seems that the peeling away of lips can be due to Exfoliative Chelitis which causes dryness, flaking and peeling of lips..
It can occur due to a number of conditions like Poor hygiene,Bacterial infection[Staphylococcus bacteria], yeast infection, lip sucking, lip lucking habit,nutritional deficiency, reduced immunity etc..
You should maintain a proper hygiene and apply thick layers of petroleum jelly or bees wax containing lip balm as it helps in locking moicture and maintain lubrication..
You should take multivitamin supplements..
Apply creams containing Tacrolimus and marigold ointment..
You can also apply antibacterial and antifungal combination ointments..
In case if there is irritation, burning sensation or pain steroids can be used..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
