Hello,

I can understand your concern for sticky dry lips causing difficulty in speaking. Dry sticky lips can be because of various reasons and the most important of all is due to nutritional deficiency or due to poor intake of liquids.
In my patients with your kind of problem I suggest them to have best of nutritional diet containing lot of fruits and especially vitamin C containing fruits. Green vegetable should be taken in plenty and intake of liquids should be on higher side.
A lip balm containing best of hydration property and sunscreen factors can be used for multiple times a day. You can discuss further with a dermatologist.
Take care.
