Avatar n tn For 2 months I have suffered with dry cracked lips, redness in corners of mouth. Moisture tends to collect in corners of mouth. I feel like if I smile my mouth is stretching. I am constantally wiping the moisture out of the corners of my mouth. My lips have a burning sensation inside and out. Mouthwash sets me on fire, but just the anterior portion of my mouth. I have tried many kinds of chapstick. The redness in the corners of my mouth is spreading. It is very embarassing.

Avatar f tn If the cracking is on the outside at the corners of the lips, one of the gals here mentioned using Vagisil successfully.
Avatar m tn This winter I got chapped lips and started using Burts Beeswax daily. Went well all winter then last week I woke up and my lips we're so chapped, I yawned and the corners of my mouth cracked. 3 cuts on both sides for a total of 6 cracks.. ouch! Also the areas around the corner are numb. There is a burning pain all day and the edges of my mouth are itchy. This has been going for 4 days now. I've used vaseline and changed to medicated blistex but no relief. Any help would be great.

Avatar n tn Fast forward a couple of months, the dry cracked corners of my mouth seem to have spread downwards towards my chin and are larger and redder now. Also, there is redness that is slightly flaky on either side of my nose extending down to the top of my mouth. As well there is similar redness on the middle of my forehead above my eyebrows. Also there are little patches of redness directly below and above the center of my lips. My question is could this have been caused by the yeast infection?

Hard to pee. Felt like i had to pee all the time. hurt before i pee'd.
Avatar f tn My lips do this if I use certain brands of lip balm and if I don't exfoliate them at least once a day. I use my face brush with my face wash rinsed off and on the slow speed setting to get the stuff that's peeling and ick off. You can use your toothbrush, too, or a clean washcloth. I'm not a fan of ChapStick brand at ALL. Everything they make has made my lips worse and caused cracked corners in my lips.
Avatar n tn Alright, well, first off, since I was a child, I've been getting cracked lips on the corners of my mouth on rare occasions. I'm now 17 years old, and I still get them every once in awhile during the cold weather, or if I don't get enough hydration, but since I've been drinking lots of water, these cracked lips haven't appeared in a long time. Well, at least until recently.
Avatar n tn Irritation and fissuring in the corners of the lips is termed angular stomatitis. It can also extend to lips and area around it. In all probability you could also have very dry lips. A lip balm preferably petroleum jelly, Vit B supplements, iron, and honey should help. If it does not please consult a skin specialist. There is one very simple thing that I would like to tell you. Lip area when it heals, forms a scab like dry layer.
Avatar f tn Vitamin B2 (riboflavin) deficiency presents with angular cheilitis (cracked corners of the mouth), atrophic glossitis (inflamed tongue) and a rash on the face that resembles seborrhoeic dermatitis. Pellagra is a deficiency of niacin (vitamin B3) and presents with the three ‘d’s: diarrhoea; dementia and dermatitis on sun-exposed areas. Cheilitis and glossitis are also a feature.
Avatar f tn licking your lips, which is common when they are dry and irritated, but that tends to irritate the lips even more. When the corners of the lips are cracked, bacteria and yeast that are normally present in the mouth can get into those cracks when there is some dripping of saliva at nighttime and cause more inflammation.
Avatar n tn I have a reddish rash in the corners of my mouth, tightness around the outline of the lips, and a feeling of increased roughness (like there is some abnormal friction) on the inside of the lips, especially on the inside of the lower lip which causes it to be caught in the chewing process and be bitten, swollen, and got caught in even more. The corners of my mouth crack also, and that hurts. All this has been going on for about a month by now.
Avatar n tn Four days ago I started to feel as though I was getting chapped lips. When I woke up the next morning my lips were double in size. I took a benadryl and it went down a little bit, and during the whole day they felt numb but itchy at the same time. They are also a little cracked and chapped. Especially at the corners of my mouth. It is worse when I wake up in the morning, but I'm thinking that is because it is the longest time that I don't take anything.
Avatar f tn Hi, I have two questions. First, my lips have cracked/ or lip fissures on the corners of my mouth. How can I get rid of them?? I have used 1%hydrocortisone cream, zinc cream, washing my face w/water and soap and then applying vasoline, Aquaphor and it won't go away. What can I use to help it???
Avatar n tn I'm not sure if you found a solution or diagnosis yet, but if someone has matching symptoms then they should look up "milia on the lips". In some cases it looks white and in others it stays pretty similarly coloured to the lips.
Avatar m tn The things which worries me the most is that from week six until now i keep getting recurring mouth ulcers (aphtous) and I have a very dry mouth with cracked lips and cracked corners of the mouth. I have had several tests since then: Antibodies test at 3, 5, 8, and 12 weeks; HIV Combi (antibodies and p24 antigen) at 6.5, 9 and 13 weeks; HIV PCR RNA (viral load) at 3 and 5.5 weeks and a HIV PCR DNA (proviral DNA detection) at 6.5 weeks. My tests results were negative. Could I still be infected?
362971 tn?1201987034 During most of treatment I had a minor case of fever bliters in the corners of my mouth. This wasn't too bad, I put some neosporin on it and it would feel ok. Then last week which was my last week of treatment I got a doozy of a fever blister that pretty much covers my entire bottom lip and below. It is really annoying me. Burns and itches. I didn't realize what it was at first and was putting vitamin e and or Baxatracin on it with no help. I have had it for about 7 days now.
Avatar n tn Hello, Without examination confirmation of a diagnosis is tough but the symptoms that you are having can be due to stomatitis and angular stomatitis. Stomatitis is an inflammation of the mucous lining of any of the structures in the mouth and Irritation and fissuring in the corners of the lips is termed angular stomatitis. Most common causes are iron deficiency anemia, or vitamin B deficiencies.They can also be caused by allergies and infections.
1224706 tn?1267220143 I have little blisters that come up on my scalp and my face. My mouth gets these slits in the corners of my mouth and get scabby kinda like a cold sore on ones lips but not one. Just slits in the corners. My mouth stays dry ALL the time and I have to have a container of water or something with me at all times. I have been to a Rhumetoid Dr. but all he seem to want to do was address the fibro symptoms so I quit going to him.
Avatar n tn i've had the EXACT same issues/symptons with my lips as you have had in the second half of your post. everything is identical. my corners are cracked and kinda painful though. i know it's not from chapped lips because i am always using chapstick. i too have given my boyfriend oral sex. he is the only person i've ever had any type of sexual contact with. he has had sexual contact with others though. he has had sex one time with one person, that was it.
Avatar n tn Or a bad case of Chapped lips , a condition whereby the lips become dry and possibly cracked. It may be caused by the evaporation of moisture. Lip balm can often provide temporary relief, though it should not be used extensively. One should avoid licking their lips as saliva contains the enzyme amylase, which can damage the already compromised lip tissue. Honey can be used on the lips as a natural remedy.
Avatar f tn s really about that long till the interferon gets completely out of you - same thing with the tears in the corners of your mouth they will resolve too). Buy some good lip balm and use it constantly that's really all I can think of aside from more water intake.
