Thank you I have several of the same symptoms, are you taking any medication for the heat part and aches. I am recently suffering from skin dryness especially the corners of my lips! I have tried many lip conditioners, but no relief. Any one else on his site with Sjogrens and these issues?

I also have so many lip problems that so far no medicine or suggestions from doctors have been able to manage. The peeling happens daily. I have been treated for little white areas in the corners of my mouth. The dryness of my lips and peeling will not go away. Mayo doctor suggested I might be allergic to aquaphor so I stopped that she said to use medical Vaseline instead after a cream with steroid didn’t help. Another dermatologist gave me a prescription for a tube of extremely expensive (hundreds) that I did not try). Also had steroids in it and I had trouble with any medication with steroids. Now just using the medical pure Vaseline at least 6 or more times a day and still not going away.

I’ve tried many things for the dry lips especially problems in corners but nothing has helped. Skin extremely dry all over red spots everywhere under skin. Extremely dry skin. Lips will clear for a day or morning and then dry peeling comes right back. Ow dermatologist is saying apply medical Vaseline 8 to 9 times daily. I’m working with a wonderful nutritionist just started adding MCT oil to drinks now twice a day to see if that helps. Otherwise use CeraVe products. Just trying now Routine shampoo and conditioner. Have had terrible drying hair loss and itching. Nothing has worked so far but I’m trying these new products.

Try an anti fungal ointment for the corners of your mouth. Nystatin for instance. Sjogrens invites yeast. Not enough necessarily to produce candida white patches. But try it. Healing and soothing is what you want.
