[|Human|] thank you. for over a week now I have had severely chapped lips. The upper lip is swollen, cracked and bleeding. very sore. The nurses here at the nursing home are reluctant to use anything with petroleum because I wear oxygen. This has never happened before. Any ideas?
[|AI|]  Hi, You seem to have charities. There may be some cause. Either irritation or allergy. If it is for the first time, it may be due to irritation caused by some irritant like toothpaste, cosmetics,lipstick, soap,Sundays or some food particles. You consult dermatologist for the firm diagnosis. I would suggest as follows.- oral steroids in tampering dose- antibiotics- antihistamines- application of mild steroid with antibiotic cream hope this would help you. Thanks.
