Hi. I have itchy burning lips and i've tried many creams dispensed by pharmacist, however my doctor prescribed kenalog in oral base. I've tried numerous pharmacies and it's not available. Can you suggest some treatment for this condition and is there any creams with similar composition to assist with my condition. Please help me. Thank you.

Dry, scaly and itchy lips are signs of a condition called cheilitis. Cheilitis may cause itching, a burning sensation or pain. It can be due to multiple factors, both internal and external. The most common are eczema, chronic sun exposure and infection. Let's have a detailed discussion to ensure proper treatment.

Hi, do not lick your lip with tongue, avoid lipstick until you are okay. Apply a moisturising lip balm with petroleum jelly.
