The first thing you should do in treating perleche is to get rid of the pain you feel. For starters, you can apply lip balm more frequently to relieve the pain on your lips. You can also apply olive oil on the affected area to soothe it. Also, remember to refrain from licking your lips. It may seem like a natural act to moisten your lips, but the saliva actually doesn't help in hydrating the mouth and could worsen your perleche. It doesn't hurt to get more vitamin B in your system as well in order to build up your resistance and prevent perleche from occurring again. Of course, you should also take a look at the medications you use; you may be using one that is causing dryness. These are some quick and easy ways for you to ease your perleche. If none of these help, you should visit your physician for medical advice.
