Hello
Welcome to healthcare magic forum.
Thank you for your query.
i understand your concern regarding your skin problem.
You have dry and sensitive skin.
You need to apply good moisturizer over lip 4-5 times a day.
Avoid direct sun exposure and wind exposure.
Do not lick your lip.
Diabetes is the main reason for all skin and other medical issue.
You need to keep it under control.
You should avoid pain killer as it will harm you more.
better to consult dermatologist and take proper treatment.
I am Dr Gaurav Patel,dermatologist and will answer your question.
I hope I answered your question.
Let me know if you have further query.
Wish you speedy recovery.
Regards,
