A member asked:

Chapped: Chapped lips are caused by excessive drying of the lips from sunlight,wind,dehydration or habitual wetting of the lips which then dry out. Because of anxiety or stress you may be continually smacking and wetting your lips. Clear yellow urine is not necessarily abnormal but can be pronounced if there is inadequate fluid intake.
