What Causes Dry Skin On The Lips?
I am 46 and have had a very small patch of dry thickened skin above my top lip for 5 years. Occasionally it gets thick enough for me to pick off leaving a red patch but the skin always heals back as a rough patch. I am not overweight and do not spoke but in general good health.

Hello,
I can understated your concern for dry skin on lips. This can be due to condition known as chelietis. There could be multiple causes of the same and most often due to dry weather or sun induced or nutritional deficiency.
I suggest yo to meet a dermatologist to get proper guidance.
All the best.
