My lips is dry and bit painful. is it bcs of dehydration? but i drank plenty of water

A doctor has provided 1 answer

You are not: Dehydrated. Dry and painful lip can be due to constant licking and cold weather causing cracked lips and bleeding.You can use chapsticks or my favorite- aquaphor ointment as often as needed till healed.
