hello mam,
actually i have consulted a leading skin specialist in trivandrum,kerala named Dr yogiraj(dr yogiraj centre for dermatology& cosmetology).first of all i did a blood test(ANA&ANTI DS DNA)and it was negative,later done biopsy on his advice suspecting DLE&was negative(it shows only some mild spongiosis&there is no vasculitis or basal cell degeneration).he told me sometimes it is due to some cell irritation caused due to my previous history when i peeled the skin.i used medicines like lycodon cap,kenacort ointment,minovit cap,T ND cort,T Hydroquin,exerge cap, H H sone,pacroma oint(pimecrolimus),benalgis tablet etc during the period of treatment(about 10 months).i used pimecrolimus oint for about 3 months.is this a good period for treatment.now i have stopped the treatment because there is no relief during this period.can u advice me a particular hospital or a particular physician where i can have a good relief for this problem& i request u whether there is any surgical or alternative solution for the same.
thanking u

From your symptoms the possibility of cheilitis can be due to atopic dermatitis. Cheilitis(Inflammation of the skin on and around the lips)is often seen in atopic dermatitis.Diagnosed by bld test like RAST. Treatment is by topical steroids or oral therapy of corticosteroids in severe cases.Topical creams like tacrolimus ointment and pimecrolimus cream are also useful but they are available under prescription.
