Chapped Burning Lips And Inner Cheeks. Treated For Thrush. Need A Permanent Solution
The inside of my lips and cheeks are chapped and burning. I was treated for thrush but that was not the problem. This has been going on now for two year and I always put it up to the toothpase as it will really make my mouth burn. I have tried all toothpastes available with the same results. I am a 65 year old male. E-Mail: YYYY@YYYY
