Hello doctor,
Why do I have dry skin around my mouth and how can I treat it?
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I have gone through your case. There are number of causes of such dryness. Use of colored toothpaste, excessive salivation, rubbing tongue on lips, poor oral hygiene, use of lip balms and lipsticks. Treatment involves maintaining good oral hygiene. Mix Clotrimazole and Hydrocortisone cream two times a day and apply on the area for 10 days. Take care.
