Prevention: Before I recommend something remember to use a lip balm with an SPF of 15 or higher out in the sun to prevent this. Aquaphor 2-3 times a day or a small amount of vaseline. In addition use a small layer of hydrocortisone cream or ointment (AKA cortaid). Be aware though lip lickers should avoid licking with hydrocortisone.
