I've had problems with my mouth since November. It started as cheilitis in the corners after eating some particularly salty/vinegary crisps which didn't heal for weeks, and only after impetigo set in. After a course of antibiotics and a thick layer of burts bees chapstick the splits healed, but there are two patches of irritated skin left behind. I'd been using daktarin twice a day in case it was fungal and 0.5% hydrocortisone cream for the inflammation, which helped a lot but never quite got rid of it. I read a few days ago that hydrocortisone was good for eczema but could actually make dermatitis worse, so I stopped using it. My mouth has got very sore, dry and itchy as a result. I'm still using daktarin twice a day to prevent infection setting into the vulnerable skin and I'm using a non-flouride toothpaste.
Is there anything else I can do? My face products are la roche posay and I use minimal amounts. I'm very self conscious about it and feel gross!
