Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

My lips are always getting crusts. It is almost as if they keep regenerating the skin for some reason. They will get soggy and yellow if in contact with water (the crusts) and if I remove them they will grow back two or three days later. I have been having this for four to five months. Please help.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com

I read your query and understand your concern. With your descriptions, it seems you have cheilitis of lips or cracks in lips. I suggest you use lip bless cream after consulting your general physician. Common ingredients of this cream are Kojic Dipalmitate, Niacinamide, Sodium Ascorbyl phosphate, and Octocrylene. Use Lip Bless cream which has a unique formula to lighten, moisturize and protect lips against UV (ultraviolet) rays. Apply the cream two to three times a day using the tip of a finger or directly by the tube. The cream should be applied within the circular or back-and-forth movement for even coverage over the lips. Kindly get a review with a picture. for better evaluation and the best possible treatment of your concern. I hope this helps.

Thank you.
