Suggest Treatment To Get Rid Of Extreme Dryness In The Lips

Hi doctor! My lips are feeling dry and wrinkly, but I always try to keep them moisturised. This has only been happening over the past week. My water intake hasn't changed too much, but I guess the weather has been drier lately. Is this normal for my lips?

Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns....

As per your complain it seems drying and wrinkling of lips when there is drying of weather can be due to dryness in weather and can lead to evaporation of moisture from the lips leading to Chapped lips..
You should increase your water intake and should take atleast 4 to 5 litres of water a day..
Apply thick layer of Petrouleum jelly or bees wax containing lip balm over the lips to relieve dryness..
Do cool compresses over lips as it help in improving blood circulation..
Apply Vitamin E gel over lips..
Do not lick or suck your lips as it evaporated moisture from lips..
Cover your lips with a scarf when exposed to dry air or sun..


Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
