Suggest Treatment For A Dry And Wrinkled Upper Lip

Hello doctor, My upper lip feels like it is taped. It feels very dry. When I try to smile, it is very uncomfortable to move my upper lip because of the dryness, I believe. It started in the last few months ago. The symptom lasts about one week, but comes back constantly. This is my third times having this symptom. Every night I apply lip balm before I go to bed. Currently, I am using Aquaphor lip protectant/sunscreen, but it doesn t seem to work. My upper lip is wrinkled from the dryness and it peels a little on the edge, but not severly. There is no bump or spot, it just feels uncomfortable and dry like a tape is on there. What can I do to cure this problem?

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, better to stop applying what ever you are using for this, and try medicated moisturizing agent with steroid, like Urea, Lactic acid, paraffin, Beclomethasone, drink more water, have more leafy vegetable in diet, hope this information helps.
