Hi dear ,

As per your query you have swollen and dry lips . Well the symptoms you mention in query are pointing towards a condition known as chapped chapped lips . There can be many reasons for chapped lips like stress , fear , anxiety , excessive sun exposure and excessive licking and picking of lips which remove the natural moist layer of lips and make then dry ,swelled and cracked . I would suggest you to not to lick and pick the lips , apply lip balm containing broad spectrum sunscreen and drink at lear 8-9 glasses of water a day . If condition soesn't get better then consult dermatologist for proper examination . Doctor may prescribe steroid ointment or antibiotics .

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
