Reoccurring Problem With Dry Chapped Eyelids And Lips, Tried Antibiotics Cream, Steroids. Permanent Solution ?

I have a reoccurring problem with dry chapped eyelids and chapped lips with chapping around the lips as well. It's not very visible to anyone but is very uncomfortable. I've used a cream with sulfur, an antibiotic cream, a steroid cream and a fungal cream. None of which seem to work. I've tried vitamin E oil as well. It is not make up related since I have thrown out make up multiple times trying to solve this problem. I've seen 2 doctors about this with little help. I've had this problem for over a year with maybe 6-7 outbreaks. It tends to last about a week and then slowly goes away. It also tends to make my eyes red and makes them cry thus making the corners of my eyes red as well. Sometimes the inside of my mouth even seems dry. Drinking or swishing doesn't seem to help. Is there anything else I can try?
