Suggest Treatment For Severe Chapped Lips
Question: I have what feels like severe chapped lips, but it seemed to start inside the mouth after eating candy more than usual. tongue got irritated and burny, then that eased up and it seemed to move up to the inside of the lips, and now seems to be on the outside of the lips. Inside still feels a little funny, but outside the lips now feels like terribly chapped, despite my coating them for the last 3 days with chap-stick and other lip "moisturizers" and face creams. Is there such thing as a yeast infection of the mouth? Could it be a yeast or viral thing?

Dentogel and capsule becosules for week
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Welcome to HCM
I have gone through your query.
It is difficult to comment on this without examination, I would suggest you to upload the picture for better assessment, also to rule out any infection and to provide you with specific advice.
Presently I would suggest you to avoid spicy food, alcohol and smoking. Also avoid too hot food for few days. I would suggest you to apply dento gel ointment to the affected area and take capsule becosules once daily after food for week. You should be fine with this measures.
Hope this helps.
Take care.

No follow-up question. Just a quick comment. You're suggestion on spicy food reminded me that I also ate a bunch of fairly hot peppers over last week-end. Perhaps that contributed. The inside of the mouth appears all normal, and the lips are also coming back to normal as of this morning. Perhaps the peppers contributed more than anything.... Thanks for your suggestion(s).
