Is there a laser for treatment of eczema on lips?

Question

I’ve had scaly, peeling lips for years. A doc tried 2 steroid creams that did nothing and now wants to inject steroids into my lips which seems like a very bad idea. Is there a laser or light therapy that could address stubborn eczema? It’s not around my mouth, it’s just on my lower lip. Thanks!

For unique cases where a variety of modalities could be used to treat the condition, I would suggest an in-person or virtual consultation to develop a custom and effective treatment plan.  It is difficult to precisely define the best option without collecting the same information. I suggest reaching out to an expert for a consultation with surgical and non-surgical methods to get a comprehensive option. Best, Dr. Emer.

Hi there,

There are oral medications that will help as well an injectable. See a Dermatologist to explore a few more options.  Best of luck!
