What Causes Chronic Dry, Cracked And Peeling Lips?
What can cause chronic dry cracked lips that continue to peel like I have been badly sunburned and I have not been in the sun.. hardly at all... they have been this way for around 2 months... I have put lots of lip balm and even started putting on triple antibiotic cream on them.. that seems to help temporarily

Hi, welcome to HCM,
actinic cheilitis is very common condition.
apply chaptex or blistex lip balm 2-3 times daily. these contain sunscreen and protect from sunburn of lip and harmful effect of UV lights.
apply emollient at night.
Hope this will help you.
Thanks
