What Medicine To Use For Dry Lips?

I drink a lot of water every day, lately my lips have been dry and keeps cracking. When I brush my teeth, take a shower or eat they turn white and a line goes across my bottom lip. I have used many different chapsticks and lip balm but nothing helps and it makes it worse. Please help

Thanks for using Health Care magic.

Read your query.

Dry lips can be of variety of causes including vitamin deficiency,anaemia ,as a sign of diabetes,or some allergy from your lipstick ,toothpaste or also from mouth breathing.

I would advice you to have a nutritious diet including vitamin (B1,B12 and B6).

Keep sipping water and jeep your lips hydrated.

Consult your GP and start with multi vitamin and also rule out if there are any systemic cause due to which they are getting too dry.

Hope this was helpful.

Thanks and regards.
