Hello,
Thank you for posting on HCM.
Dry and chapped lips can be due to several reasons like nutrition,weather, cosmetics/toothpaste, habits etc. I would suggest you hydrocortisone and fusidic acid combination cream (Fucidin-H) for few days along with good quality lip balm with (Sunkroma lip balm). Avoid lip-licking or scratching/pricking of lips.
Hope this will take care of your query.
Thank you,
Dr Hardik Pitroda
