Brief Answer:
Simple Chelitis

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

I received the image.

It appears to be simple Cheilitis, this could have occured due to dryness of the lips.

If the regular petroleum jelly or Lip balm has not helped, advice her to take B complex capsules for 15 days along with application of liquid paraffin based lip balms. This will solve the issue.

Hope, I answered your query.

Wish you good health.
