I have had it for years also. Mine began when I had Lyme disease years ago. And yes no Dr. seems to have any idea what is causing it. I do believe it might be connected with Sjogren's. and it certainly involves the nerves in part of my tongue and inside of lips. Miserable! I do know that it is a condition of women but no one seems to be investigating that. It makes me think that hormones might be involved.

Hello Brennan,
Thanks for your response! Mine started in the corners of my mouth, very sore an cracked open. I believe it happened after I drank out of a can in 2019. It flares up on a regular bases. Red and burning on the outside of my lips. My Dr has tried everything, dermatologist, natural path, ENT, now I'm going to an allergy specialist this month. No one seems to know what it is or how to treat it. My Dr pretty well told me there's nothing else he can do.
