Dr. John Thaler answered

Specializes in Prosthodontics

Ointment: A and d ointment usually works well. This has those 2 vitamins in it. Also, resist the urge to lick your lips, and keep them lubricated with lip balm of some kind. See your dentist if you have worn down teeth or dentures, as this may be partly causing it. Check your diet for sufficient vit. C . Good luck.
