3. Avoid Infection
You should also take steps to avoid any infections. This illness can actually be caused by an infection. When saliva builds up on the corners of the mouth the skin may crack. Licking your lips is a perfectly natural action to suit the cracked skin and reduce the pain, but there are times of this can actually cause infection. That’s because there are all sorts of germs inside your mouth that you can pass on to the sensitive area when you began running your time over the cracked areas of your lips.
This allows the bacteria to gain a foothold and begin multiplying those areas. This can actually be pretty bad if it progresses although your body will usually take care of it before the infection spreads too far. If you do not find this to be the case, then you definitely want to seek medical attention right away because any infection that is close to the brain should be taken care of with antibiotics immediately.
