Dry lips.: Hydrate yourself. Use lip moisturizer. Take b complex vitamin or multivitamin. If sore does not heal in several days see your doctor.

Lubricate: Frequent application of vaseline or Aquaphor or chapstick. 10 or 20 times a day if needed. NO VITAMIN WILL BE OF ANY USE UNLESS IT IS A GREASY OINTMENT. If problem persists, see a dermatologist.
