A doctor has provided 1 answer
Flaky skin treatment: Flaky skin around the mouth could represent a number of conditions. There could commonly be a mild inflammatory process such as dermatitis that responds to an over the counter hydrocortisone cream. You may also have some yeast colonization as a possibility. Finally make sure you are getting adequate b vitamins and zinc in your diet.
