Suggest Treatment For Chapped Bottom Lip

Hi.Lately my bottom lip has been getting chapped, only its in one specific spot. I pick at it out of habit everyday trying to make it go away. The next day that same spot would get hard and flaky. Even when I put lip balm or lip gloss on, that one spot wont get smooth.Is there something wrong with my lip?

Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
Nothing wrong with your lip, the repeated injury to the tongue is making you feel like that. Consult a oral physician and get it evaluated. This can occur, if the teeth are mal aligned and if you have any neuro muscular problem. Nothing to be panic, take an opinion from the oral physician and later once the diagnosis is confirmed, we can treat accordingly.
I hope my answer will help you, take care.
