General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I understand your concern.
Swollen, dryness and cracks in the lips are generally caused due to vitamins namely Vitamin C, Vitamin A and Riboflavin deficiency.
Kindly take multivitamins capsules twice daily. Also consume foods rich in these vitamins like citrus fruits and vegetables.
Apply moisturizing lip balm at bedtime.
Gradually, you should be able to overcome the problem.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best.
