Aa
rash on lips and surrounding skin
My mother is 80 and has a red scaly rash on her lips and the skin around them. It goes away then comes back and is even worse vaseline triple antibiotic ointment lotrimin and herpes remedies do not help. We are trying to cure this with over the counter products. Could this be an allergic reaction ? What could we try next?
Try changing her toothpaste. Jason's makes toothpaste that is good for people that start reacting to certain ingredients, but some people find that just one brand, such as Crest, is the culprit.
If that doesn't help, try having her swish with Theraneem toothpaste. It has natural ingredients that fight bacteria and yeast without harsh ingredients. It is pleasant tasting and doesn't burn. Still make sure she spits it out after swishing.
