Need Help for White Scrapable Skin on Inner Lip

Posted By AJ (US) on 01/26/2024

Hello guys

from around one year I am having this issue where a white patch kind of skin appears inside my lower lip

It is scrapable and it reappears every few days

Sometimes that specific area gets red at first and than the skin appears

For example the skin feels normal for 4,5 days and than suddenly that specific area starts to feel rough and this white skin appears there

It's like frequent happening

I got it checked with ent specialist and he said it's virus

Pls suggest me something to try

If images would be helpful than guide me how to add images

Hi AJ,

You might give consideration to hydrogen peroxide (HP) at 1.5% or less as just .5% HP can inactivate a number of viruses such as SARS and MERS. It is readily available at stores and is inexpensive. Standard store solutions are 3% so diluting it with an equal amount of filtered or distilled water should be a 1.5% solution unless the bottle is old, in which case it will be less than 3% and the resulting solution will be less than 1.5%.

One reason for the dilution is because HP is an oxidizer, so using the lowest strength required helps reduce damage to normal cells. Let us know what you decide to do and how you make out.
