Dry feeling on upper lip since 4 months

Question

Asked for Female, 30 Years

I have an extreme dry feeling on my upper lip area. When I apply any moisturizer or lip balm, it feels fine but constantly I have to keep that area moisturised else it feels very uncomfortable. I generally apply boroline to the area. But if I don't apply any cream, sometimes it gives me a burning sensation too. Earlier, this problem was getting ok in 7 10 days but again reappeared after every 10 to 15 days but now it has become a persistent problem. I have seen the affected area closely in mirror and have found small white dots beneath my upper lip. Is this a fungal infection? If yes, what ointment/medicine should I apply/take.
