Why are my lips dry and black at the edges?
Patient's Query
Hi doctor,
My lips are dry and black at the edges. Please help.
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
- In case you are a smoker, stop smoking. I suggest using Melanite cream daily only on the lips.
- Take a thin slice of lemon, sprinkle a bit of sugar on top and rub it on your lips. It will exfoliate dead cells, so new and fresh skin can appear. Use this remedy daily for a few weeks. Alternatively, you can prepare a mixture of a half teaspoon each of lemon juice, glycerin, and honey.
Thank you.
