Are mouth sores, dry/cracked lips common?

A MyMSTeam Member asked a question 💭
Coeur D Alene, ID

I was diagnosed with RRMS in July and I've had the worst trouble with mouth sores, dry lips and even angular chelitis (cracks in corner of mouth). I've never had dermatolgical/mouth problems...is this common for others? I've got steroid creams from the determatolgist now but seriously...this is sometimes worse that my MS friend itself. UGH!

Not sure if this is a MS symptom but some of the meds we are prescribed can cause dry mouth. I'm glad you sought treatment and hope you get some relief.
