Suggest Medication For Cuts And Numbness On Corners Of Mouth And Lips

Firstly i had cuts in the corner of my mouth, and then they healed and it spread onto my lower lip, where it was quite crusty and now it has spread to my upper lip which is quite numb, it isnt sore or painful. I have been using lip balm but it doesnt seem to do anything.

Hello.
It will not heal with lip balm.according to symptoms you mentioned it seems to be viral disease .herpes is one of its example.
You should consult nearby dentist for clinical evaluation, diagnosis and treatment.
Don't use lip bam and take care you don't spread it to others.
Hope this will help you.
