Lip chaping: Try to use frequent lip moisturizer. Aquaphor might help, if continue to have the problem need to make sure no other reason for mucositis which you might be thinking dry lips. See your primary care doctor.

Dehydration?: Due to elevated temperatures and dryness, people can have dry lips that can break. In that case, they need to make sure that they are very well hydrated and they can use a moisturizer to their lips for symptomatic management.
