How To Treat Tight Lips?

Hi, my lips are very leathery feeling and tight. However the don't feel like normal chapped lips. Not any peeling or real dryness, but a little bit of numbness and tingly sensation. I started feeling this on thursday and now been 4 days. ive been applying a lot of chapstick and vaseline and nothing has helped.

Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain leathery and tight feeling of lips with numbness and tingling can be due to nerve related conditions like inflammation, injury or damage to the nerve fibers that supplies the lips and that belongs to branches of Trigeminal Nerve that is the nerve of face..
As of now you can take Vitamin B complex supplements as its helpful in improving nerve regeneration and improve its function..
Do warm compresses over lips ..

In case if there is no improvement in one month or symptoms worsen consult a Neurologist and get evaluated..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
