I'm noticing a white line around my upper lip and I'm not sure why this is happening. Do you have any idea what might be causing it or if there's a way to treat it? Would love some guidance on this.

The white line around your upper lip could be a condition called angular cheilitis, which is often caused by fungal or bacterial infection, nutritional deficiencies, or excessive saliva accumulation at the corners of the mouth. To treat this, you can use an antifungal cream like Clotrimazole twice daily for 1-2 weeks. Additionally, keeping the area dry and applying a barrier cream like Vaseline can help. If the condition persists, it's best to consult a dermatologist for further evaluation and management.
