Hello,
Thanks for the query,

Dry lips are usually seen due to change in weather.

Its good that you are applying vaseline.

Home remedies like application of butter also helps.

Avoid lip smacking, it actually increases the severity.

I would like to know, if you are taking any other medication for any disease.

Lip fissuring is a common side effect of many drugs.

Please meet a dermatologist for exact diagnosis.

Let me know if you have any other doubt.
