I woke up yesterday morning with dry lips which felt extremely chapped but would normally come off easily in the shower and lips would be fine after moisturizing. I rubbed my lips gently in the shower but it felt painful after which lead me to look closer and i noticed it was bright red and swollen. It looks like the skin growing back but it easily comes off in some areas. What is wrong with me?
Hello. You could be having a simple exfoliating problem of the lips, but sometimes it could also be something called lichen plans. A skin biopsy from the site would identify the problem. It is definitely a treatable condition.
