A member asked:

Hello i have a chapped lower lip with a discoloration. its always dry and painful with periodic pimples-like substances. what is the cause and cure?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Chelitis: Chronic chapped lips alone are often caused by irritation from chronic licking, but once sores or bumps begin to appear, one should consider infection with bacteria or fungus. Prescription medications are usually required.
