Hello. Thank you for writing to us.

I am dr.kakkar (dermatologist). I have gone through your query and I have noted your concern.
You may try Flutivate cream, twice daily for 2 weeks. In addition you may also take a tablet of Vitamin C (Celin tablet), once daily. Use a sunscreen based lip balm whenever outdoors e.g blistex lip balm.

Can you send me prescription for the medicines?

Brief Answer:
Kindly request your General Practitioner

Detailed Answer:
Hi. Good Morning.

I suggest that you request your GP to kindly do the needful. Fluticasone propionate 0.05% (Flutivate cream) is a prescription medication while Vitamin C tablets and Blistex lip balm can be procured directly without a prescription from a local drug store.
Kindly also go through the disclaimer at the bottom of this page.
