Can you get eczema in your mouth?

Having dry, painful skin around your mouth must be very uncomfortable. I hope you find the right treatment soon. Please take care and drink plenty of water to keep your skin hydrated.

I had severe peeling and redness around my lips last winter. My dermatologist diagnosed it as cheilitis, which is similar to eczema, and told me it was a reaction to my toothpaste. Once I switched to a basic, non-fluoride toothpaste without mint, the irritation completely stopped.

I have been noticing some burning and peeling around my lips for a week now, and it is making me feel really self-conscious. Does eczema around the mouth leave dark marks after healing? I would love to know if there are any gentle creams that are safe to use.

I used to get these raw, red patches at the corners of my mouth during gym training. I thought it was eczema, but the doc said it was a yeast infection caused by saliva buildup, called angular cheilitis. Got a specific gel for it and it cleared up in three days.

With my PCOS, my skin gets very sensitive to hormonal shifts and I often get dry skin around my mouth area. I am not sure if actual eczema can happen inside the mouth, but the skin around the lips is very delicate. Please consult a doctor to be sure about your symptoms.

Any rashes, peeling, or ulcers inside or directly around the mouth should be evaluated by a healthcare professional immediately. It could be a nutritional deficiency, an allergic reaction, or a fungal infection rather than eczema. Please do not apply any skin creams near your mouth without a doctor's advice.
