Used to bite and peal my lower lip, i stopped doing it but now my lip is dry and cracks in the middle, sometimes blood comes out, what can i do ?

Lip balm: You should buy a lip balm that has very few ingredients in it so there is less likely for you to be allergic to it. See if your lip gets better using it multiple times during the day. If the fissure does not heal it can be injected with cortisone which does not get into your body but will help the lip heal.
