Hydrate yourself: this could be due to excessive dryness and dehydration, fir which you should keep yourself well hydrated. Use lip moisturizers. Feel better

Lip dryness: Frequent lip balm applications to keep it moist would help. Aquaphor like cream will help. If you have any associated oral ulcers or skin rash, sensitivity to sun light have it checked out .
