Hi, Cheilitis is the inflammation of lip. It may cause due to excess liking, or rubbing habit. Excess sun exposure or vit. B deficiency can be another reason. Angular cheilitis can occur due to fungal infection. Keep yourself hydrated by drinking adequate water. Take lots of green vegetables. Put lip balm to avoid dryness. For further consultation, you can ask me through private questions.

Keratosis pilaris is a common, harmless skin condition. It causes small, hard bumps that may make your skin feel like sandpaper. The bumps are often light-colored. They usually appear on your upper arms, thighs, and buttocks, sometimes with redness or swelling.The good news is that it usually does disappear or at least fade over time.
