A member asked:

In winter i have very dry, flaky n chapped lips. drink alot, tried oils n balms. nothing seem to work. please suggest any ointment for quick recovery?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Lip eczema treatable: Persistent chapped lips may be lip eczema, which can be treated like skin eczema, using Hydrocortisone cream, and Vaseline or Aquaphor to retain moisture. Sometimes, lipsticks or lip sunscreen chemicals are causing an allergic reaction on the lips. Other times, a person is a primary lip-licker (it's her habit). Once cracked, lips get irritated by routine foods and juices. A doctor can help out.
