Hello, my name is harry and i have a problem about my lips. first off, before, my mouth had skin on it (not chapped) but hanging off and i used to peel some skin off. and at that time my mouth had cuts on the corner of my mouth and every time i opened my mouth the cuts would open and it hurted badly. now my lips has a white ring with a lot of bumps and my mouth has small,dry, and flaky but very noticable skin around my mouth in the morning and all through the day. sometimes my lips look swollen to. please help me, brcause this is very embarrasing and disgusting

Dermatologist 's  Response
Hi, welcome to HCM,
As per your description it seems that you are suffering from angular cheilitis, oral candidiasis and perioral dermatitis.
All three having different etiology and can come together.
Take multivitamin cap daily for one month.
Apply candid mouth paint 2-3 times daily over white patch.
For perioral dermatitis mild steroid+emollient will help.
Hope this will solve your issue.
Thanks
