What is the treatment for dry skin patches?
Patient: I was experiencing numbness in my lips then a day later what seemed to be a cold sore appeared but, it is more just a small patch of dry, dark skin in the corner of my mouth. I just changed my facial wash so I thought I was allergic. I haven't used the wash in days but the dry patches are increasing and the numbness seems to be spreading to my nose and chin. What should I do? Doctor: Hi,It may be angular cheilitis. Riboflavin deficiency may be the cause. Kindly consult the dermatologist for the perfect diagnosis and proper treatment.I would suggest...- riboflavin containing tablet like FDson plus thrice a day-vitamin E & aloevera containing cream to apply on the lesionsI hope this help you.Thanks.Dr.Ilyas Patel MD
