Hi,
It may be post traumatic cheilitis.
Kindly consult the dermatologist for the perfect diagnosis and proper treatment.
Vitamin B complex containing riboflavin,folic acid and niacinamide may be taken for long time.
Apply aloe vera with vitamin E cream on the lips.
Avoid licking the lips.
I hope this would help.
Thanks.
