For about 3 months now i have had a burning sensation around the mouth.I have used several types of lip balm/moisturizer but it doesn't help,actually it seem to make it worse.I have suffered from dry lips before but usually after a few days of using a lip balm everything feels fine.Could this be some sort of fungas or bacterial infection?There are no bumps or blisters and the area looks normal.I am just feeling a constant burning.Thanks for any info.
ve been using Aquaphor Healing Ointment (Advanced therapy) for two weeks now and my skin is trying to heal and close up so it can be soft but since my mouth is moving all the time it makes the cracks deeper and now it burns whenever water or any liquid touches it, so now I'm done using the ointment seeing as it is just making it worse. Please tell me what it is and any treatments or home remedies that can help it go away.
I used to use neutrogena acne soap excessively all over my face which i think is the reason why that part of my skin is kinda burned. is there any kind of cream i can use so that my skin can go back to normal; to the normal skin color that the rest of my face has. all your advice is very much appreciated.

Can Chelitis effect the entire top lip. My lips started to tingle, burn, and then presented little white bumps in the corner of my mouth and also little bumps on my top lip that can only be seen when the lip is stretched. It's been like that for 3 months now and I think I'm going to go get it looked at. They don't always burn or tingle and when they do it is only for a few minutes. My only concern is that it doesn't go away on it's own....... Sound like Chelitis?
I think I've got a rare case of something.
Not sure if this is a fungus, a case of herpes (HSV), or what ??
Severely chapped lips, darkened, shaded on the edges, cracked, dry lip tissue.
What's going on ?
Of course, I'd be able to research elsewhere online (other forums) or even get a pro diagnosis, from an online medical professional. Site/Resource Recommendations ?
- Exposure of affected skin to intense ultraviolet light, such as narrow-band UVB
- Medicines taken by mouth such as trimethylpsoralen (Trisoralen)
- Medicines that she applied to her skin such as (Corticosteroid creams, immunosuppressants such as pimecrolimus (Elidel) and tacrolimus (Protopic),repigmenting agents such as methoxsalen (Oxsoralen)).
She also tried some herbal options.
Even though her vitiligo did not go away it improved significantly. It also stabilized and stopped spreading.
Newer two topical eczema drugs like pimecrolimus (Elidel Cream) and tacrolimus (Protopic Ointment) are reserved only for cases where corticosteroids have not been effective.
In resistant cases, oral corticosteroids and immunosuppressants like cyclosporine and phototherapy are used. Since you are having intense itching, your doctor may prescribe some sedative-antihistaminics to reduce itching. You may discuss about these treatment options with your doctor.
She has such severe dry deep cracked feet, that they swell to a degree she is often in a wheel chair for extended periods of time. The pain is unbearable for her. SHe has seen several dermatologists and an immunologist. Has been tested for Lupus and other auto immune disorders all were negative. The dr's give her creams that don't help for more than a few days then they flair up again worse than time before. Last night her feet swelled to more than twice the normal size.
I went to the doctor and they gave me some antibiotics in carmex and told me to use that for what they think is cold sore disease. I did use the medication but it seem to work for the swelling and blisters only. It work a little on my dry, peeling rashy skin around the mouth. After i was done with the medication, the next day i got my swollen, bistering lips back. Can you help me?
I've had eczema on my hands and around my mouth for nearly four years now, what has also developed is a serious itch around my pubic area. Starts of like little water blisters then with scratching in my sleep wake up with bloodied nails and a very sore vagina. Also very flaky skin. I've tried almost everything the doctor can think of.
The dermatologist told me that It would go away on its on but It has been 8 years and enough is enough. This is little embarrassing. Would you say that Protopic is the best treatment for Lichen Nitidus? And also how many weeks or months will I have to wait before Lichen Nitidus is fully gone. Note that I'm using 0.1% two times a day.
Thank you.
