I have used every Chapstick, Vaseline, lip repair and it is still not better after three months. it goes in cycles from the patch to chapped all over to red burning and raw lining my lips

The possible diagnosis of the condition based on the description of the lesions is Chielitis.Dryness of the lips can aggrevate it so must use a moisturiser regularly for your lips.If the redness and information is too much then you might also need to apply a mid topical steroid cream like
fluticasone over the affected area. Multivitamin supplimens might also help as vitamin definitely is one of the important causes of Chielitis .Consult your dermatologist regarding the above mentioned therapy. Regards
