Hi,

Thanks for writing back.

Based on the history provided, I would consider the problem you have is not serious and commonly seen due to lack of moisture.Such condition is most often presented in cold weather when the oil secretion from the sebaceous glands will be less.

Lip balms in some may help but a cream containing Lanolin like LANSINOH or TENDERCARE are more effective and helpful.The cream has to be applied twice daily .Also do take multivitamins which helps in healing of the lips and prevent from being dry.

Hope I answered all your questions. Please use any answer clarification before closing and rating this answer. I will be happy to explain or expand on any issue you may have.

Regards,

Note: Hope the answers resolves your concerns, however for further guidance of skin related queries consult our Dermatologist.Click here to book a consultation
