A member asked:
I have dry irritating red areas on the edge of my lips also my lips have been unusually chapped the last few days. could this be a symptom of an std?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not likely: Irritated, chapped lips are due to dryness and sun exposure usually. Sometimes a yeast infection may occur in the corners of the lips and is red & irritated. If it is all around your mouth, stop licking your lips, use lip balms like chap stick, vaseline etc as often as needed to control the irritation and dryness. Good nutrition and lots of water also help.
