What is the recommended treatment for permanent redness and flaky skin around the mouth that turns darker ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See dermatologist: This suggests that some of the products you use for oral hygiene (mouthwash, toothpaste especially those with a whitening agent etc) , if changing brands don't help after a week, see a dermatologist.
