How Do I Repair Peeling, Chapped And Purple Lips?
How do I repair my peeling, chapped and in many places purple lips? I have had a cold this week and now I'm left with painful sensitive lips. I have put Vaseline on them at least every hour all day and it hasn't made the slightest difference. Please help.

Hi,
I can underntand your concern. As per your query you have peeling, chapped and purple lips.
You have not mentioned in your query about your age and since how long you have these problems. Now there can be multiple reason for chapped lips but most commonly there are two important reason: - contact dermatitis with any chemicals or due to cold and the "self licking" process. Both of these can coexist together.
Just check for the things coming in the contact of the lips as well as stop licking the lips.
You can apply fluticasone cream oer the affected for two times .Drink lot of water and increase fruits intake. Hope these informations are helpful. If you have any further query I will be happy to help.
Wish you good health,
Regards,
