Question 3

can you tell me how to cure my chronic, dry cracked lips?

Accepted Answer

Dry lips: Most people with dry lips seem to lick their lips a lot.  Licking the lips makes it worse, so try to stop that habit.  And don't pick at them, either.

Try to use a lip balm (like aquaphor healing ointment or vaseline lip therapy) a few times a day.  Consider something with an spf as well.

If it's just to corners of the mouth, you may have a fungal infection that needs a prescription cream.

Depends:  Infants have no need for external application of any salve or ointment. If exposed to excessive cold a small amount of unscented Vaseline or chap stick should be adequate. If this is a chronic issue it may be related to a condition called peri-oral dermatitis that would need an evaluation &amp; prescription meds.

Question 10

can you please describe the best ways for getting rid of really chapped/cracked lips?

Accepted Answer

How long?: You will need to find out if you are allergic or irritated by the products you are using on you lips.   You are also more likely to have chapped lips if you lick your lips often or breathe through your mouth most of the time due to nasal congestion.   I assume that you have already tried chap stick or its likes etc. Without success.
