Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXXXX
Welcome.
I have gone through your query.
It might be due to contact dermatitis or cheilitis. But it would be better if you can upload the pictures of it for assessment.
I would like to know,
is it only hard or they are swollen or is it cracked or is it dry.?
Is only lower lip affected or both lips affected?
Is it associated with any pain?
Are you having any dental infection?
Since when you are facing this problem?
Does it occur continuously? Or any seasonal variations?
If possible upload the pictures? Photos can help a lot in predicting the condition.
Kindly answer the questions and UPLOAD the images, I'll be glad to help you out.
Take care.
