hi.. you have dry lips, peeling and oozing.. dryness could be due to dehydration, peeling due to the multivitamin deficiency.. oozing due to secondary infection of the peeled skin... now take lots of fluid, use good quality lip balm, start multivitamins with zinc,.. take antibiotics for the short duration... see your dermatalogist for this.. all the very best..
