I've been struggling with Exfoliative Cheilitis on my lips for the last 5 years and I'm really looking for some help. What can I do to treat this from the inside and the outside? I'm desperate to find a way to get rid of this condition. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

To treat it internally, you can try taking Vitamin B supplements to support lip health. Externally, you can apply a thin layer of hydrocortisone cream to reduce inflammation and promote healing. Additionally, using a lip balm with sunscreen protection can help protect your lips from further damage. For internal treatment, you can take Vitamin B complex supplement daily. For external treatment, apply hydrocortisone cream on the affected area. Use a lip balm with sunscreen protection during the day to protect your lips.
