I have been getting raw, somewhat swollen & red lips. They get this way for a couple days then get better then begin bothering me again. After the raw phase, they get rough and peely. It s almost like i can feel them swollen on the inside around my teeth. They almost feel blisters (on the worst days) but there aren t any noticeable blisters. I had a small thin line (on inner, upper lip around tooth line) that looked like blood blisters.
Hi. As per your case history you are having cheilitis. My treatment advice is - 1. Take good nutritious diet full of green leafy vegetables and milk. 2. Apply a lip balm with sunscreen once a day. 3. Take a vitamin b12 supplement once daily for 3 months. 4. Other treatment options are oral antibiotics, multivitamins taken only after consulting a dermatologist.
Thanks. Dr. Harshit bhachech. MBBS, DDVL.
