Hi..

Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

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

As per your complain dryness, chapping and inflammation and redness of the inner lips and cheeks seems to be most probably due to dryness inside mouth and the condition is known as Dry mouth or Xerostomia..
It can lead to thinning of mucosa, making it rough, inflamed and at times tender and painful..

I would suggest you to consult an Oral Physician and get evaluated and a thorough clinical evaluation and investigations as per suspected cause like salivary gland disorders,nerve damage, oral infection like thrush, side effects of medicines, diabetes etc..

As of now you can start chewing sugarfree chewing gum as it stimulate saliva flow..
You can gargle with specialized mouthwash that is suitable for dry mouth patients like Biotene.
You can instil artificial saliva drops..
Take a soft diet..
Drink plenty of water..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
