What Causes Dry Lips With Irritation?
For about two to three years I have been having a irritation in my lips, not as in itchy but as in bothersum. I do have somewhat of rash, not really visible unless really looked at. They do seem to get rather dry at times, and no chapstick works to help. Instead it makes it worse. Do you have an idea as to what it is?

Hello,
I read carefully your query and understand your concern.
Chapped lips are typically caused by environmental exposures that lead to irritation, including saliva and licking your lips, spicy foods, and cold, dry weather.
The common cold and sun damage can also cause chapped lips as well as medication like cholesterol-lowering agents.
Hope my answer was helpful.
If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.
Kind regards!
