Could my lip condition be angular cheilitis?

Patient's Query

I have a condition at the corner of my lip (mouth), it has a slight burning sensation, and it didn't hurt until I noticed it. It was drying out and the scabs were yellowish. Could it be queilitis angular ?.I was in a cold, dry environment, and where I was sleeping wasn't entirely hygienic. Symptoms appearing in less than 24 hours.

Answered by Dr. Anju Methil

It does sound like you might be dealing with angular cheilitis. This condition can occur due to factors like cold weather and poor hygiene. The yellowish scabs are a common sign of this condition. It's good you noticed it early! Here's what you can do: Keep the area clean and dry, apply a gentle lip balm, and consider using an antifungal cream if it persists. Also, try to stay hydrated and maintain good oral hygiene. If it doesn't improve in a few days, do consider reaching out to a dermatologist for further evaluation.

I am 25 years old female, i facing with very severe butt achne from last 5 years, it has been increasing due to prolonged sitting due to wfh, please suggest some otc medication or solution

Female | 25

It's a common issue when sweat and oils get trapped in our skin pores. Prolonged sitting can make it even worse. The best over-the-counter treatment is to use a mild cleanser with salicylic acid to shrink the pores. To that end, also, take breaks from sitting and keep the area clean and dry. Stay hydrated and wear loose, breathable clothing.

I have fungal infection in my groin area and around belly button. I have been using this medicine ketoconazole neomycin dexpanthenol iodochlorhydroxyquinoline tolnaftate & clobetasol propionate cream for quite some time but it is not able to cure the problem. I'm maintaining a strong hygiene too. Please recommend something

Male | 23

I suggest that you visit a dermatologist who is capable of diagnosing the type and level of the fungal infection. The treatment plan will be based on the diagnosis. Prescription of the suitable antifungal medication will be done followed by advice on hygiene practices to prevent further infection.

Hi Doctor, I'm experiencing a recurring skin issue. It starts as a small red dot, which then develops into a sore, causing skin damage. The sore heals after 2-3 weeks, but instead of resolving, the condition spreads to a new location just above the previous sore.

Male | 24

You may have a skin condition known as impetigo. It is usually first seen as a red point and develops into an ulcer thereafter ten days or so, and is finally healed. It may also spread to other skin areas on the body. This is the result of bacteria entering the body through small cuts or sores. In a clean environment, and with the help of antibiotic ointment, the skin can be healed.

I am 20years old I just started going through gental wart and I already start using drug and cream but I notice serious burning or painful side effect on my virginal so what onniment or drug can I used to reduce or eliminate the pain

Female | 20

The burning or pain you might be feeling is from the drugs you are using. To relieve the discomfort, you can use a mild soothing cream such as Vaseline or aloe vera gel which will help to ease the irritation and give some relief. Ensure that the region is kept dry and clean to quicken the healing process.
