Suggest Treatment For Dry Lips

Hi, I’m 18 years old, eat healthy, Exercise everyday as an athlete. Get about 6 to 7 hours of sleep per day. But I used to masturbate regularly for a long time, about 5 years maybe ones a day. But all of a sudden last year whenever I masturbated I got very dry and chapped lips(it looked like the skin wants to come out) so now I go almost a week without masturbation and my lips get better as I put chap lips and stuff like that on it. But whenever i wank, I can see my lips getting worse again! I would appreciate any help, thanks Have a good day.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

As per your query you have symptoms of dry lips which is due to removal of natural moist layer of lips leading to chapped lips and can occur due to bacterial or fungal infection.

Need not to worry. I would suggest you to apply lip balm throughout the day to retain moisture. Drink plenty of water and use humidifier at home and apply vitamin E oil at night. It will be better to apply lip balm having SPF 30. Eat green leafy vegetables and fresh fruits. Apply honey on lips. If condition persists for more then a week or get worse consult dermatologist for proper diagnosis so that doctor can rule out any infection. Doctor may prescribe oral/topical antibiotics or anti fungal depending upon the condition.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
