Suggest Treatment For Numbness And Dry Lips
Hello, my lip is numb and dry and darkening in color. Also, there are watery and white bumps on my lips. There is no redness or swelling, however my upper lip is stiff and not as flexible where there is discoloration. What is this, and what treatment should I apply to my lips to make these symptoms go away?

Hi dear ,
As per your query you have dry and dark lip along with numbness . The symptoms you mention in query are pointing towards a condition known as chapped lip . Sometimes excessive licking and picking od lips remove remove natural moist layer of lips and make them dry and dry and dark in color in extreme conditions person experience numbness also . There are other factors like hormonal changes , side effect of medicine and excess exposure to sun . I would suggest you to stop licking and picking of lips apply lip balm with sunscreen all the time , apply vitamin E oil at night and give cold compresses to lips . Consult dermatologist for proper examination and rule out condition like diabetic neuropathy .
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
