Chapped lips, really red with tiny blisters. Can I get ir rid of it? Exfoliate my lips?
Patient: I have badly chapped lips, that are really red and they seen to have tiny blisters. I've tried vaseline which has helped a bit but then it ends up getting worse. Is there a brand of chapstick or lip therapy or medication that would heal this? I've been drinking water and I don't lick my lips. I'm really trying to get rid of it since the weather has been getting hotter and I don't want it to get worse. Also I don\t want to exfoliate my lips because they hurt even when water touches it. What can I do to make it better? Doctor: Hello,  The bilsters on lips may be due to aphthous stomatitis. This is usually caused due to- Dehydration. Nutritional deficiencies. Allergic to weather,food items etc. I would suggest you to drink plenty of water and fluids too keep yourself nourished. Take nutritional rich diet. Avoid exposure to too cold/hot weather. TAKE VIT.C,FOLIC ACID,iron supplements. Plenty of fruits and vegetables has to be taken. Hope this helps.
