Redness and burning around lips
I have redness, burning and itching around my lips since a few months now. I have visited doctors before who have indicated it as lip licking and provided steroids. However I have consciously observed that I do not lick my lips and every time I apply the steroid creams it becomes worse and the burning becomes unbearable.
I apply Vaseline for relief from the burning and redness however it is temporary and constant application is required.
