Hi
Welcome to Healthcaremagic
Greetings of the day

The lesion of lips are due to Photo dermatitis along with associated Vitamin B6 deficiency causing Cheilitis (inflammation of lips).

I would suggest you the following

1. Oral Multivitamin supplements

2. Sunscreen lotion and avoid direct exposure to sunlight

3. Local application of Steroid like Mometasone over the nose will be helpful

Do get back to me if you need any further assistance, will be glad to assist you.

Take care
