What Causes Lips To Be Dry, Itchy And Swollen?

my lips are dry, itchy, and swollen. I also have little bumps directly under my bottom lip and some above my upper lip. I also notice that my lips look a little paler than they usually are. I ve been out in the sun a lot, but I do use chap stick everyday and nothing I tried is helping. Do you know anything that I can try to fix this?

Hi,

It may be cheilitis. The cause may be frequent exposure to sun. Kindly consult the dermatologist for the perfect diagnosis and proper treatment.

You may apply mild steroid cream on the lip with moisturiser. And apply sunscreen to protect from sun rays.

I hope this would help.

Thanks.
