Ehi,
Thanks for writing to us.
So you basically have two concerns: cheilitis and hair fall.
Cheilitis could be sun induced, frequent licking of lips, dry weather, nutritional deficiency etc
To treat the same
Use a lip balm with sun protection factor
Use a mild steroid cream over lips for few days
Once the dryness is gone, you may take few sessions of mild peels to reduce pigmentation.
As far as hair fall is concerned it could be genetic, hormonal, stress induced due to chronic illness or due to nutrtional deficiency. I would advise that you meet a dermatologist to get your hair snalysed, so that a proper treatment can be suggested.
You can wash your hair every alternate days and use a shampoo
