What Causes Persistent Dryness On The Lips?

What can cause chronic dry cracked lips that continue to peel like I have been badly sunburned and I have not been in the sun.. hardly at all... they have been this way for around 2 months... I have put lots of lip balm and even started putting on triple antibiotic cream on them.. that seems to help temporarily

hii.welcome to our site.i have gone through your question.my opinion is that,
1.kindly take more water of about 3 litres a day. because dehydration may cause lip dryness.
2.take nutritious diet.you can take watery fruits like watermelon.
3.application of butter over lip twice a day will help you.
4.dont peel the skin from cracked lip as it may worsen the condition.
5.you can make use of lip balm.
thank you.feel free to ask any doubts.
