[|Human|] Hello, about a year ago, I bit a small part of my upper lip. It usually shouldnt be a problem because it heals and closes, but in my case its not doing that. Every 3-4 days, a new layer of skin forms, and starts pealing, and eventually peels off completely. After another 3-4 days a new skin layer forms again, then start peeling, and goes away completely also. This has been going on for 1 year, there is no bleeding associated with it, but this wound just won`t heal and close, and a new skin layer forms and peals every 3-4 days. I tried using every medical lip stick I know off and all sort of things but they are not working. What is the solution?
[|AI|]  Hi Dear, Welcome to Chat Doctor. Understanding your concern. Lip bite is very common kind of thing and there is no need to be panic about it. The area will take around week to heal but as you having recurrence It's due to frequent licking of your lips which leads to formation of cracks in skin and eventually fungal infection there.  It could be due to riboflavin deficiency as well. I would suggest you to :-- Maintain proper oral hygiene.- Do HY Chat Doctor.  Mix HY
