What Causes Redness And Burning Sensation Around The Lips?
For the past 2 months around my mouth, just the perimeter of my lips have been red and burning feeling, dry and flaky. I have tried to rule out any change in cosmetics and soaps. I use chapstick constantly, it almost feels like a windburn. What can I use to get rid of this?
