The skin on my lips are dry and turn dark as if they are dead. What is my condition called?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Your condition is called eczematous cheilitis. But, still please upload 2 to 3 photos of the area, so that is easy to diagnose the condition. Try applying topically Mometasone cream mixed with some moisturizing lotion, 2 to 3 times a day for two weeks. Avoid licking your lips. And avoid exposure to sun, dry atmosphere, and cold temperature. Keep your body well hydrated. Eat a balanced diet. Take multivitamin A to Z, once daily for a month.

You have cheilitis of lips. It can be due to sun exposure or may be due to some other reasons. Try doing the following.

1. Apply Fucibet (combination of Betamethasone and Fusidic acid) or any other steroid creams, like Clobetasol, Mometasone, etc.
2. Keep the lip moisturized, use any cold cream or any good moisturizer frequently on the lip. You can also use any good lip balm.
3. Use sunscreen over the face as well as on the lips whenever you go out. Avoid sun exposure.
4. Avoid contact with soap or other chemicals and cosmetics.
5. If itching is there, then take Levocetirizine 10 mg once at night.

Consult your specialist doctor, discuss with him or her, and start taking the medicines after their consent.
