A member asked:
What do you recommened for chapped lips other than chapstick?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Chapped lips: Avoid Chapsticks. They may have sensitizing agents that may make worse. Using plain petroleum jelly would be best. However, you would need to be consistent with it. Use very often. No risk of overdosing on it.
