Please continue your unsponsored content, because 98% of dermatologists just talk about the basics and not the root causes or how to treat them, including what creams or products to use. When I came across your profile, I found it very helpful, unlike other doctors. You explain everything in detail. Please don't stop. Consider doing a video about good moisturizers, beginner-friendly retinols, and all of that.
This works. I finally got consistent with using CeraVe healing ointment and I no longer have chapped lips. I kept trying to make lip balms work but they are so short lived. Thanks for the validation!
Welcome back, Dr Usama! Best dermatology videos! 👑 Your honesty is a breath of fresh air and soo appreciated! It's awesome to hear a professional opinion. There is such an overwhelming amount of ads on UA-cam, many UA-camrs' videos are like longer commercials. Tough to find actual useful info. Your channel is unique.👏
This works! I used to have a deep wound through the middle of my bottom lip all through each winter. I haven't had it the past two winters simply by covering my lips with vaseline before bed
Glad that you are back. Would really appreciate if you make a video on hair oiling because in eastern cultures, hair oiling is really pervasive and have been used by people for thousands of years but modern medicine seems to consider hair oiling as unnecessary or even unhealthy and damaging to hair. So it gets really confusing. Plz make a video about this
This is the best video I have seen on this topic. I have severe dry lips for the last 18 months and no one can figure it out. Have done every thing suggested in this video, still luck. Started after a veneer was placed, starting to think at this stage I'm allergic to the dental glue or veneer.
I'm currently in my fourth month of taking 40mg of isotretinoin per day. Initially, I took isotretinoin solely for my acne, but I'm pleased to report that it has also cleared up my backne and dandruff. However, I've developed extremely chapped lips. Vaseline alone didn't work for me, so I started using lip balm (Bioline), and it fixed my chapped lips.
I recommend Portland Bee Balm. It comes in a plastic tube wrapped in brown paper. It's very nice and thick, made with beeswax, olive oil, and coconut oil. My favorite is the yuzu scent. Lemony.
Try the Paula's Choice Lip and Body Treatment Balm. It's heavier than Vaseline or even Aquaphor. However, it contains castor oil, beeswax, and lanolin, so if you're allergic to any of those ingredients, you could react to it. FYI, I don't work for Paula's Choice, or get paid to recommend them, or receive free products to review.
When I was on accutane, the only lip balm that worked for me was Dr Dan's Cortibalm. You have to get used to the smell (it's not pleasant), but it works so well that I still use it even though I've been off accutane for years.
For anyone for whom vaseline, aquaphor, etc doesn't work: try Dr Dan's Cortibalm. I started using it when I was on accutane during a very cold, dry winter, and it saved my lips. I still use it because it's the only lip balm that works for me-- others make my lips inflamed. It's a pricier lip balm, but it works so well that it's worth every penny. I put it on once in the morning and once before bed, and my lips never get chapped (though they still occasionally peel when the weather gets dry).
Great video! I am coming off of a head cold and can attest to mouth breathing at night, making my lips suddenly very dry. Your tips were already on my radar, and a warm mist humidifier on High in the bedroom and a thick coat of Aquaphor on my lips helped so much. And the inside of my mouth was more comfortable with the humid air. Tongues aren't supposed to dry out! 😋
I have to say I'm very pleased that you decided to continue making skincare content. I love following along and learning as the way that you explain things are simple to understand for those of us who are complete novices, thanks Doc
I actually followed most of these steps already from what I noticed when I was younger. My lips always got irritated using lip balm and licking my lips. It got really bad then I was like ok licking my lips ain’t helping and I happen to see Vaseline for lips when I was out one day and figured this might work better and difference is night and day. My lips and skin around them felt like so dry it was gonna fall apart and now they’re just a little dry after eating or waking up. I got to try that humidifier though. Good to know I’m 2/3rds of the way there thanks for the insightful video
My middle finger is cracked. I was doing some house cleaning with very strong chemicals and i wasn't wearing gloves. For some reason all my other fingers are fine except my middle finger! Its so annoying how one day its closed almost healed cuts and the next its the burning sensation and open cuts again! Been this way for 3 months almost. Im gonna try the vaseline and if doesnt work im seeing my doctor! 0:310:33
hello from greece & thnx so much for ur honest content, it is waaay better than all those beauty channels overloading you with clickbait titles and tons of products! vaseline is a king )) but it's kinda gross getting in there with a finger.. any advice, dr. syed?
I took Accutane about 40 years ago and still have very dry lips. Petroleum jelly is great, and Aquaphor if you're not allergic to lanolin. What I mostly use now is the Paula's Choice Lip and Body Treatment Balm. It's heavier than Vaseline or even Aquaphor. However, it contains castor oil, beeswax, and lanolin, so if you're allergic to any of those ingredients, you could react to it. FYI, I don't work for Paula's Choice, or get paid to recommend their products, or receive free products to review.
dr syed, i just found you today and considering your no bs content type, i really really need you to make more videos like the one you made on retinoid with other ingredients. you should make it a series so that it would be really helpful for people to pick and choose which ingredient they need or do not need in their routine. since what you're actually talking about on those videos are evidence based and nuanced, it would be real helpful if you did similar content on hyaluronic acid, salicylic acid, other active ingredients, etc (love your content btw)
yes , its been long time he is not making content , i intentionally checked the comment section just to know the reason behind it , i am worried if he is okay or not , he is my fav dermat online , i hope he would come out with new videos soon
Try the Paula's Choice Lipscreen SPF 50. It doesn't have flavor or fragrance, but it does have beeswax. So be aware of that if you're allergic to beeswax. FYI, I don't work for Paula's Choice, or get paid to recommend their products, or receive free products to review.
You mentioned exfoliative cheilitis as being caused by dry air, basically regular chapped lips. From what I've read, they don't know what causes exfoliative cheilitis and it can be a lifetime problem. I don't lick my lips or use any lip balms, my house isn't dry yet my lips are still peeling. I've had some success with cerave healing balm, but if I stop using it, the lips start peeling again. Is there really something called exfoliative cheilitis that goes beyond just having dry lips?
Why do my lips seems to be contrarian... 😢 I've known about vaseline for years, but in reality, when i create a nice thick vaseline barrier for my lips, I wake up to peeling and cracked lips. When i don't put anything at all, they remain only mildy dry. Am I really dehydrated perhaps??
there wasnt my type of drying lips , my lips are drying fast and the skin is jus getting peeled of continously and yeah both up and down side. Also, when i get dry lips for a long then when i wash them or water touches it, it literally becomes white that peeling off skin like i dont know what to do and also my doctor said a capsule named - (Becozinc) also this aint any seasonal or environment issue to it. it started around more than a year and getting worse, sometimes not worse but not so good.
@@onlypuneetdude I have the same issue. It happened after my lips got super dry and I peeled the skin off a bit and it got super black. Then it always got dry
@@soliditylearner8016 yeah I would use balms and even beef tallow beeswax and it would help but eventually it got dry again and now I only use Vaseline at night. Towards the end of the day it stays dry for some reason and it just won’t change it’s been a few weeks. Idk what to do
hey doc , two months back , when you have uploaded this video , i had very severe lip dryness or allergy , i just cant tell you how painful they were , i used to coat my lips in lip balm , at that time i just opened the youtube and your video come up , i was your subscriber and i have watched almost every video of yours ,, after watching this video , i ordered vaseline lip therapy original care , and it did wonders , i use this daily , and my lips were never been that better , this is my holy grail for lip care now .... i want to know that why are you not making videos now , i have literally checked your youtube channel twice since two months .. are you all okay doc ? i hope everything is fine ... doc i want to know that can i use aveeno daily moisturising lotion on face , i have normal to combination skin , sometimes it also feels dry lots of love from india doc ...
I used to have burning lip sensation all the time as I used all kind of lip balms, which made me reapply them again and again for some comfort. Now I use Aquaphor healing ointment, and my lips feel so much better! I still use a lot, mostly because I'm so used the need the feeling of it on my lips, however, at least I no longer feel that burning feeling that lip balms left. I think that at this point it's basically addiction to have those products that keeps me reapplying all day long.
Great video. I have been fighting with dry lips couple of weeks. I used to put original Vaseline long time ago. And thanks to your video today I went to the local pharmacy for cosmetic vaseline, althought is from different company than original Vaseline. Anyway,, suddenly I feel big relief. Been trying lots of stuff from natural cosmetics brands with shea butter, oils, etc. I am in my 40´s and cause of hormonal disharmony, my skin is getting dry. I found this channel I think yesterday and I appreciate your honesty.
I thought you were quitting skin care videos. I thought you were going to start talking about things that really matter, meaning to life, etc. (I’m a family nurse practitioner. I loved your quitting video. How refreshing!!!)
Great video! One more thing, that doctor didn’t mention is changing toothpaste to SLS free. That’s may be a reason for people who are allergic to SLS or it’s just too irritating/drying for them.
I just ran into your channel! and I have to say, I'm so glad I did! Please make a video on Vitamin C - It's very much promoted by some dermatologists ... Thank you for all your great " REAL" advice. Happy New Year to you and greetings from Canada
Wow😮 Thank you so much for the kind explanations Very brief, helpful and very effective❤👏🙏🤲💯. Wow Thank you so much and more Grace to you from above 🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌
I’ve heard that using a hot wet towel or paper towel and holding it between the lips for a few minutes, then gently using a second hot wet towel and very gently moving it back and forth between the lips (not scrubbing, just gently removing what has been loosened) can remove dry and peeling skin from environmental dry lips, making a smooth base for then applying Vaseline and lipstick. Does this work, and is it safe? Could it safely be used as a one off for events and parties, if you didn’t then care if your lips were drier the next day? I also always loved lanolin / nipple cream for lips. For years they said it was an allergen, then I read a paper that said this was a blown out of proportion piece of data and actually, follow up data never confirmed it and in fact found the opposite. As someone who would be more in the know, what are your thoughts?
1. my chapped lips are usually bottom but will get on top too. I'm 43 and have had chapped lips since i was a kid. We usually get mouth sores 1-2x a year, but I'm a virgin as well as my friends prior to marriage, and I have had sores since as far back as i can remember, maybe 5. And mouth sores are common for everyone here in the Philippines once a year, no one thinks it's herpes. Since covid, i haven't been out of the house, so no risk of sun exposure and the Philippines is a tropical humid country, so not bec of dry air. None of your examples fit me or most Filipinos, so still a mystery i guess
Hello Dr. Usama, just wanted to confirm whether vaseline is the best choice, coz I have seen a lot of people including other dermats suggesting its not the most effective option out there. Thanks.
Evening Dr. Unfortunately I caused me & my son bottom lip to dry out because we had an allergic reaction to an off brand olive oil we used. Which caused this dry film to form on our bottom lip. That continuously peels eventually. My daughter used Vaseline a little too often & it caused her dryness. Went to a dermatologist who prescribed a steroid ointment that was effective initially, but did a reversal for some reason once I had to stop applying it after two weeks. Now I’m back with this dry film on my bottom lip & have exhausted so many options 😩🥺
I've been using solid Vaseline for 3 years already. On the morning and on the night, everyday and drinking more water (from 1-2lt to 2-4lt) And my lips are not dry as they used to be
Love your content 🫶🏼 but I have a question on this one - I know you did a video on the mainstream skincare brands like la Roche posay and how they’re shoved down our throats but what do you think of their panthenol lip balm? My brother says it worked wonders for his cold sore but I’m skeptical
Thanks for the video. Signed up to updates for the app development. Question, if my lips are cracking a bit, won't exfoliating them gently once help get rid of the dead skin? You said no, so I should just keep moisturising until it heals itself?
Does our skin naturally shed? I recently got a hair splinter in my thumb and haven’t been able to remove it myself. Should I wait for the skin to shed it naturally through metabolism, or should I visit a clinic to have it extracted?
having chapped lips for abt 10 years and hands itchy to peel it as usual. i've tried humidifier alone but it helped a lil. gonna buy vaseline to try tmr to use tog w my humidifier... hope to update in 3weeks 😊
@gxd_edits24 yes! definitely worked.. my lips are no longer chapped. this has to be a daily routine with humidifier, applying vaseline at least morning n night and avoid using fingers to touch your lips.. i hope it can be fixed permanently in the long run. we'll see...
What if you had chapped lips since you were an infant? And the bottom lip is worse (grew up close to the Beach). Vaseline helps and so does olive oil (but Vaseline is better). Thank you for your informative video!!!!
My chapped lips are just from good old accutane. The dryness began a week after starting, even though my dose is only 30mg. What should I do? Petroleum jelly?
Loved the video! But I am having dry lips with inflammation on my lips and skin below in peak summer 😅 none of the mentions in the flow chart match my case!
Pls help! Have it since born, seem to have a skin overproduction (dead skin that peels every 2 days but doesn't hurt nor bleed, looks similar to dandruf after removed or a layer of dry glue, transparent, maleable, very dry, in the lips), since I also have skin hyperproduction in the rest of my body (have to exfoliate very frequently to not get ingrown hairs or a dead layer), perhaps due to my Ehler Danlos Syndrome (type 3, hypermobile). Regardless of if I use diferent products or none at all, it still happens. Lip balms with salicilyc acid helps, but nothing else does, even vaseline. And air humidity only makes it so that it doesn't peel on its own, but the dead dry-glueish layer is still there, and feels unconfortable so I often rwmove it myself. My lips are far from inflamated, in fact it is like the dead layer is empty and sinks in the middle, since parts of it are loose from the living lip undermeath, even when it doesnt peel or crack. Atp not even my dermatologist knows, he tested for fungus etc and thats not it, tested for alergies and found nothing, Idk what to do.
You don’t need any of this. Step 1: Brush teeth before bed. Step 2: Lip scrub after brushing teeth- brown sugar, honey, and coconut oil. Rinse off, pat dry. *Apply all natural lip balm. Step 3: Wake up and repeat in the morning. Step 4: Do this daily, don’t waste your money on retinol or literally any other medical-grade treatment.
I eat croissant for a week in a row and my lips starting to dry and inflamed. May i have alergy to refine flours? Is it blocked the vitamin B which im deficient from?
My dermatologist prescribed Tacrolimus oinment. I am using it everyday.My lips are still chapped. My lips make new dead cell everyday! I am so sick of this problem. It's not getting better.Please reply😔
Doctor I have severe exfoliative Chelitis I took tacrolimus before for three months l cured but it comes back after stopping and I use many lip palms but nothing benefit for me what should I do
I have dry chapped lips for 6-7 months. I don’t lick my lips, I’m always hydrated, I don’t have herpes or eczema. Also, I did use Vaseline for 2 months unfortunately no help. What can it be? I’m so confused
So that can be something called 'postural hypotension' where due to low circulating blood volume, sudden changes in posture can lead to reduction in blood flow to your brain and a feeling of dizziness. Discuss with your local doctor!
What about the outside of your lower lip? Is that cancer too! I just turned 41 yrs old and was diagnosed with PPMS last year 🤦🏻♀️ how do I get into a dermatologist asap? They all have wait lists five miles long 🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️😢
But what about exfoliative cheiltis? I think i am suffering from it. My lips (lower) are peeling throughout the year, they don't seem dry, however they always have a layer of skin that peels very easily upon coming in contact with water, generally mornings. It doesn't hurt, no pus, nothing else, just extra skin cells every day. It's so bizarre, my dermatologist couldn't figure out what i was going through but after doing some extensive research on the internet, i have come to the conclusion that most probably it is exfoliative cheilitis, which i know is very rare. Do you have any suggestions for me? Thank you so much x
I got a damaged bottom lip cause I keep pulling and biting parts off (cause I hate the feeling of hard crust on my lip). Apart from stop doing that, anything I should put on my lips to help it recover?
Yo Doc, so I got this problem with my lips right. So my lips got these lip lines, but not the link wrinkles around the lips, but on the itself, I am not sure if its genetics, since my dad has it too, or its natural, the lines look more pronounced and noticable, is there way to maybe reduce the lip lines, maybe more collagen production idk. Plus my upper lip is darker than my bottom lip, its prob due to overproduction of melanin, is there a way to reverse that or ig reduce that apperance. Thanks Doc
What if my answer is no to all of these questions, but my lips have been incredibly dry my entire life? Dry, flakey, peeling in sheets, bleeding etc. I have a strong feeling it's becausenI have a deviated septum and I mouth breathe a LOT. Is that it?

Can you share the full name of vasline?
usama, is the yoghurt and coffee mask is good

As a fellow New Yorker, I don't know how anyone can live here without a humidifier.
Hello Doctor, this is the very first time i'm watching a video on several lip issues. Thanks a lot for such kinda info ❤
My pleasure!
glycolic acid vs retinoid. which is better?
Great video! One more thing, that doctor didn’t mention is changing toothpaste to SLS free. That’s may be a reason for people who are allergic to SLS or it’s just too irritating/drying for them.
Hi Dr. Great video once again! What is your honest opinion or Carmex lip balm ?
Pls can you cover how to not sweat a lot when going outside
I did a video on this!
Do you add your spf to your lips? Or is there a specific product for lip care with spf? Use Vaseline currently like you mention - thanks
I just ran into your channel! and I have to say, I'm so glad I did! Please make a video on Vitamin C - It's very much promoted by some dermatologists ... Thank you for all your great " REAL" advice. Happy New Year to you and greetings from Canada
Wow😮 Thank you so much for the kind explanations
Very brief, helpful and very effective❤👏🙏🤲💯.
Wow Thank you so much and more Grace to you from above 🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌
Thank you 🙌🏼
@@usamasyed You are welcome and thanks as well
AMEN AMEN 🙏🙏
I’ve heard that using a hot wet towel or paper towel and holding it between the lips for a few minutes, then gently using a second hot wet towel and very gently moving it back and forth between the lips (not scrubbing, just gently removing what has been loosened) can remove dry and peeling skin from environmental dry lips, making a smooth base for then applying Vaseline and lipstick. Does this work, and is it safe? Could it safely be used as a one off for events and parties, if you didn’t then care if your lips were drier the next day?
I also always loved lanolin / nipple cream for lips. For years they said it was an allergen, then I read a paper that said this was a blown out of proportion piece of data and actually, follow up data never confirmed it and in fact found the opposite. As someone who would be more in the know, what are your thoughts?
Excellent video as always!
Thank you!
Is aloe vera gel a good moisturizer for sensitive dry skin
I just started using Vaseline on my lips before I sleep, but during the day I use spf 30 Nivea and blistex chapstick
1. my chapped lips are usually bottom but will get on top too. I'm 43 and have had chapped lips since i was a kid. We usually get mouth sores 1-2x a year, but I'm a virgin as well as my friends prior to marriage, and I have had sores since as far back as i can remember, maybe 5. And mouth sores are common for everyone here in the Philippines once a year, no one thinks it's herpes. Since covid, i haven't been out of the house, so no risk of sun exposure and the Philippines is a tropical humid country, so not bec of dry air. None of your examples fit me or most Filipinos, so still a mystery i guess
Hello Dr. Usama, just wanted to confirm whether vaseline is the best choice, coz I have seen a lot of people including other dermats suggesting its not the most effective option out there. Thanks.
Aquaphor has beeswax in it? Is it still ok to use? Or better off with Vaseline. How about blistex medicated?
Can u also make video on dark lips treatment........,.........
Evening Dr.
Unfortunately I caused me & my son bottom lip to dry out because we had an allergic reaction to an off brand olive oil we used. Which caused this dry film to form on our bottom lip. That continuously peels eventually. My daughter used Vaseline a little too often & it caused her dryness.
Went to a dermatologist who prescribed a steroid ointment that was effective initially, but did a reversal for some reason once I had to stop applying it after two weeks.
Now I’m back with this dry film on my bottom lip & have exhausted so many options 😩🥺
I've been using solid Vaseline for 3 years already. On the morning and on the night, everyday and drinking more water (from 1-2lt to 2-4lt)
And my lips are not dry as they used to be
Love your content 🫶🏼 but I have a question on this one - I know you did a video on the mainstream skincare brands like la Roche posay and how they’re shoved down our throats but what do you think of their panthenol lip balm? My brother says it worked wonders for his cold sore but I’m skeptical
Always love your video editing 😄
Does taking Fish oil capsules during Accutane reduce the chapped lips?
Yes, 100%
Can you make a video about dark circles under the eyes and how to get rid of it. Because we really like your explanations it is very clear and simple
Thanks for the video. Signed up to updates for the app development.
Question, if my lips are cracking a bit, won't exfoliating them gently once help get rid of the dead skin? You said no, so I should just keep moisturising until it heals itself?
If you focus on moisturising, the dead cells peel off themselves more gently!
Can you possibly recommend a good sun screen for continuous peeling lips please ❤
Hi doctor, I got 2 questions, does direct sun exposure on lips , darkens the lips? Does the lip get dark when Vaseline is used while going out in sun?
I don't hve a humidifier. I jst use my kettle and steamer.
Does our skin naturally shed? I recently got a hair splinter in my thumb and haven’t been able to remove it myself. Should I wait for the skin to shed it naturally through metabolism, or should I visit a clinic to have it extracted?
Cyanoacrylate glue to suture lip cracks?
Happy to see ya Again 😊
Is it good to use a lip balm that has SPF?
I appreciate the effort but do you mind sharing your sources, like the common allergens

7:23 a small question just to set my expectations : is it gonna be subscription based?
We’re launching free! Not sure how long it’ll stay free depending on what our costs are, but let’s see
If cera ve and aquaphor both blistered the lips so severely. What do u recommend? (Vaseline also causes some irritation)
Incredibly helpful. Thank you!
You’re welcome!
having chapped lips for abt 10 years and hands itchy to peel it as usual. i've tried humidifier alone but it helped a lil. gonna buy vaseline to try tmr to use tog w my humidifier... hope to update in 3weeks 😊
hi , any update?
@gxd_edits24 yes! definitely worked.. my lips are no longer chapped. this has to be a daily routine with humidifier, applying vaseline at least morning n night and avoid using fingers to touch your lips.. i hope it can be fixed permanently in the long run. we'll see...
My upper lips are cracked😢 do I put Vaseline on the upper lips too?
Can you do a video about sunscreen please
There's a lot who said that sunscreen is poisonous and in the auther side there's who said that is necessary
Please can you talk about hydroquinone? Dermatologist are recommending it for hyperpigmentation treatment but most UA-camrs are talking against it
What about partial hyperpigmentation on the sides of the lower lip and the upper lips being generally darker
What if you had chapped lips since you were an infant? And the bottom lip is worse (grew up close to the Beach). Vaseline helps and so does olive oil (but Vaseline is better). Thank you for your informative video!!!!
My chapped lips are just from good old accutane. The dryness began a week after starting, even though my dose is only 30mg.
What should I do? Petroleum jelly?
Loved the video! But I am having dry lips with inflammation on my lips and skin below in peak summer 😅 none of the mentions in the flow chart match my case!
Ive got a skin problem, very sensitive skin so whats the best vaselin for my dry lips plz
What would you suggest with SPF?
Pls help! Have it since born, seem to have a skin overproduction (dead skin that peels every 2 days but doesn't hurt nor bleed, looks similar to dandruf after removed or a layer of dry glue, transparent, maleable, very dry, in the lips), since I also have skin hyperproduction in the rest of my body (have to exfoliate very frequently to not get ingrown hairs or a dead layer), perhaps due to my Ehler Danlos Syndrome (type 3, hypermobile). Regardless of if I use diferent products or none at all, it still happens. Lip balms with salicilyc acid helps, but nothing else does, even vaseline. And air humidity only makes it so that it doesn't peel on its own, but the dead dry-glueish layer is still there, and feels unconfortable so I often rwmove it myself. My lips are far from inflamated, in fact it is like the dead layer is empty and sinks in the middle, since parts of it are loose from the living lip undermeath, even when it doesnt peel or crack.
Atp not even my dermatologist knows, he tested for fungus etc and thats not it, tested for alergies and found nothing, Idk what to do.
Hi how can I contact you for a question?
You don’t need any of this.
Step 1: Brush teeth before bed.
Step 2: Lip scrub after brushing teeth- brown sugar, honey, and coconut oil. Rinse off, pat dry.
*Apply all natural lip balm.
Step 3: Wake up and repeat in the morning.
Step 4: Do this daily, don’t waste your money on retinol or literally any other medical-grade treatment.
I explain at the end of the video why this is a bad idea. But people can make up their own minds. Who said anything about retinol on your lip though?
Pls continue. My go to channel
I eat croissant for a week in a row and my lips starting to dry and inflamed. May i have alergy to refine flours? Is it blocked the vitamin B which im deficient from?
My dermatologist prescribed Tacrolimus oinment. I am using it everyday.My lips are still chapped. My lips make new dead cell everyday! I am so sick of this problem. It's not getting better.Please reply😔
Me too😢
@@ShaylaHuevo-vu6bh i have been suffering for 8 years!
Doctor I have severe exfoliative Chelitis I took tacrolimus before for three months l cured but it comes back after stopping
and I use many lip palms but nothing benefit for me what should I do
I have dry chapped lips for 6-7 months. I don’t lick my lips, I’m always hydrated, I don’t have herpes or eczema.
Also, I did use Vaseline for 2 months unfortunately no help.
What can it be? I’m so confused
Hey can you tell me more information about the dizzy when we stand up cause I personally feel dizzy and start to blackout when I stand up
So that can be something called 'postural hypotension' where due to low circulating blood volume, sudden changes in posture can lead to reduction in blood flow to your brain and a feeling of dizziness. Discuss with your local doctor!
@@usamasyed Alright, thanks for your time
Agreed
You know how to give us great information but in a humorous manner.😂
Thank you!
What about the outside of your lower lip? Is that cancer too! I just turned 41 yrs old and was diagnosed with PPMS last year 🤦🏻♀️ how do I get into a dermatologist asap? They all have wait lists five miles long 🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️😢
is BIODERM a good lip balm
But what about exfoliative cheiltis? I think i am suffering from it.
My lips (lower) are peeling throughout the year, they don't seem dry, however they always have a layer of skin that peels very easily upon coming in contact with water, generally mornings. It doesn't hurt, no pus, nothing else, just extra skin cells every day. It's so bizarre, my dermatologist couldn't figure out what i was going through but after doing some extensive research on the internet, i have come to the conclusion that most probably it is exfoliative cheilitis, which i know is very rare. Do you have any suggestions for me? Thank you so much x
I got a damaged bottom lip cause I keep pulling and biting parts off (cause I hate the feeling of hard crust on my lip). Apart from stop doing that, anything I should put on my lips to help it recover?
Dr may i use bepanthol? I had used spf but nothing change only persistence.
Yo Doc, so I got this problem with my lips right. So my lips got these lip lines, but not the link wrinkles around the lips, but on the itself, I am not sure if its genetics, since my dad has it too, or its natural, the lines look more pronounced and noticable, is there way to maybe reduce the lip lines, maybe more collagen production idk. Plus my upper lip is darker than my bottom lip, its prob due to overproduction of melanin, is there a way to reverse that or ig reduce that apperance. Thanks Doc
I m on my tretinoin 0.025 journey I see my lips become dark what should I do can I reverse the damage😢guide me
Hey Dr Syed, could you do a video on aviclear please? Seems very promising.
Please could you do a video on UK sunscreens? Most stuff on UA-cam is either American, Korean or Australian
Is it like moisturizer where you should be using vaseline daily even if your lips feel fine?
What if my answer is no to all of these questions, but my lips have been incredibly dry my entire life? Dry, flakey, peeling in sheets, bleeding etc. I have a strong feeling it's becausenI have a deviated septum and I mouth breathe a LOT. Is that it?
