Im getting dry patches in my lips and they turning into sores what can i do to eliminate this problem and what would be causing it
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Lips : Dry cracked, sore lips may be treated by a dermatologist with moisturizers and corticosteroid cream for a short time. It is important to make sure the rash is not caused by an allergy to sunscreen or lip balm or to a herpes virus which would cause painful blisters.
