Whiteness Around the Mouth - Dry Skin Posted: 11-17-03 22:20pm
Hi all,
my wife this morning after arising had a
white powdery looking appearance at both
sides of her mouth. I had noticed it
before but this time it was really
pronounced, and at a closer look her skin
looked very dry especially at the top of
her nose and on the fore head.
She has been an asthmatic since a young
girl (now in her early 50's) and is
allergic to dust mites, doesn't drink or
smoke.
Hoping you can shed some light on this
subject, thanks,
maxum

I have heard that the white stuff that
accumulates in the corners of your mouth
is due to dehydration. It would make
sense, especially if she is also having
problems with dry skin. I don't know if
this is the cause of your wife's problems
but it would be nice and a cheap remedy if
a couple extra glasses of water cured it
good luck
