Causes of dry skin around mouth

Dryness and flaking around the mouth often occur in our lives, especially in winter. Due to wind drying, the skin on our mouths can become chapped. Therefore, we recommend that you pay attention to replenishing water in your life so that we can avoid dryness and flaking around the mouth. I hope you can learn more about ways to replenish water.

Patients with cheilitis not only have symptoms such as erosion, redness and swelling, but another manifestation of cheilitis is dry, chapped and desquamated lips. Therefore, dry, chapped and desquamated lips are also a disease, which is the main feature of dry and desquamative cheilitis. Some people may also experience dry and desquamative lips in dry and hot seasons or environments. As long as they apply appropriate protective agents and keep their lips moist, they can return to normal and will not develop further. This situation cannot be considered a disease.

The air is dry in winter, and the skin surface will lose moisture, which is normal. My lips used to be dry and peeling every winter, and they would not get better until spring. Later, I summed up some experience and started to apply lip oil every day from autumn and eat more fruits to remove dryness. The most effective fruit is apple. Eating more apples will have a very obvious effect. If you feel that your lips are peeling seriously, buy VB and VC and eat them together. It will be better in a few days. Remember to apply lip oil every day. Another important point is to drink more water

Avoid licking your lips casually. In fact, licking your lips will only bring temporary moisture. When the moisture on the lips evaporates, it will take away more moisture from inside the lips, causing the lip mucosa to wrinkle, making it drier. In severe cases, it will cause secondary infection and swelling, causing greater pain. The correct approach is to drink more water to replenish lost water. When your lips feel dry, choose some lip balm with higher moisturizing properties, such as those containing aloe vera or vitamin E.

Be careful not to tear the skin off boldly. The skin will usually peel off after chapped lips, but before it falls off, it is always stuck to the lips. At this time, there are always some bold people who are not afraid of pain and try every means to tear off the peeling skin. The final result is naturally bleeding and pain, especially the pain is aggravated when talking. The correct way is to soften the dead skin with a hot towel first, then clean it with a cotton swab, and finally apply lip balm. Do not ignore the indoor air humidity. Pay attention to adjusting it on sunny days in autumn and winter. Use methods such as sprinkling water, evaporating water or using a humidifier to increase the indoor air humidity to ensure that the skin is in a relatively moist environment and avoid a series of skin problems caused by excessive dryness.

We can usually use lip balm or drink more water to moisturize the dry and flaky skin around the mouth, but there is also a situation where the dry and flaky skin around the mouth is caused by cheilitis. In this case, we should use some drugs such as Vaseline to treat it to prevent our mouth skin from getting infected.
