Hi Dear,

Welcome to GLOWPINK.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of white patch on the lower lip which seems to be due to fungal infection, leuckoplakia nd due to loss of pigmenattaion. It could be due to due to any malignacy as well.

Need not to worry. I would suggest you to

- Drink plenty of water.

- Use medicated sunscreen such as Tancare rich in SPF 30.

- Don't use any cosmetics containing much chemicals. Avoid use of topical steroids.

- Apply tea tre oil and increase garlic consumption.

You should visit dermatologist once and get yourself examined. Startr treatment after complete examiantion. Take a sample using scraper and go for biopsy of lesion.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
