Suggest Treatment For Dry Skin On Lips Causing One To Peel It

I have been having this problem for a few months and it is driving me insane! My lips have been a little dry then they started to peel, when I peel the skin off it burns a little. Then I had a sore on the corner of my lips but that's gone and have no problem with that but the peeling is still a problem and sometimes when I feel my lips it feels like there is the layer of very thin skin or its just a little numb but not terribly then maybe one time I thought it was over with but it only lasted for a short time. I have no idea what to do and I really want to have normal lips again.

Hi..
Thanks for the query.

I have gone through your query and can understand your concern...

As per your complain you are suffering from a condition known as CHAPPED LIPS and it is commonly due dehydration and excessive exposure to sun and external environment or may be due to a few more reasons..
Nothing to worry, first of all start drinking plenty of water..
Apply petroleum jelly over the lips or bees wax containing lip balms as it helps in lubricating the lips and locking up of moisture..
You can also apply aloevera gel over the lips.
Avoid licking, sucking or pressing over the lips as it further evaporates moisture from the lip..
Exfoliate the lips with a mild scrub twice a day..
Do cold compresses over the lips..
Apply a broad spectrum sunscreen lip balm over the lips when you go into sun

Hope this information helps..
