A member asked:
Could someone be addicted to chapstick and and lip balm? i feel like i am getting to that level..
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Chapstick: The chapstick and lip balm may be constantly irritating your lips, making you think you need more rather than less of this product. Overuse of these products is a habit, not an addiction, which can be broken. If your lips continue to be dry, I would seek medical attention which can treat recurrent infections on your lips.
