How To Get Rid Of Dry Lips?

The middle of my top lip is very dry, when I run my lips together it feels like a rough texture. I exfoliated my lips 2 days ago when my top lip started to feel weird. What can I do? Is this something I should really be worried about? Also too, in the past couple of days it has gotten very cold outside. Could that be a factor? It s just my top lip that is dry and not my bottom.

Dermatologist,  's  Response
Hello,
Thanks for the query,

Dry lips are usually seen due to change in weather.

Its good that you are applying vaseline.

Home remedies like application of butter also helps.

Avoid lip smacking, it actually increases the severity.

I would like to know, if you are taking any other medication for any disease.

Lip fissuring is a common side effect of many drugs.

Please meet a dermatologist for exact diagnosis.

Let me know if you have any other doubt.
