How can i prevent dry crusty areas around the mouth?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Lip crusting: In the past folks with dentures would develop this. Poor lip support by the dentures and increasingly poorer diet would add to the problem. Ensure you are adequately hydrated. Add a multi vitamin 1/d and take a 500m Vitamin C In AM and PM. Vasoline both lips twice a day after washing and drying your face. If this persists see an MD/DDS for an evaluation.
