Psoriasis on the lips can be tricky to identify since it often resembles everyday chapped lips. The main symptoms include:

• Cracked and scaly skin
• Discoloration (appears red on lighter skin, purple on darker skin)
• Silvery or gray scales
• Peeling skin
• Burning sensation Unlike typical psoriasis plaques found elsewhere on the body, lip psoriasis may look less distinctive and more like severely dry, cracked lips. The condition can affect both the red part of the lips and the surrounding mouth area. Movement of the lips during eating or talking may worsen symptoms and occasionally lead to bleeding, itching, and increased discomfort.
