A member asked:
Lips are generally very dry & chapped no matter how much lip balm i use. often have attacks of angular cheilitis. dr says nothing can be done about it?

2 things come to: mind: 1. have you had your B vitamin levels checked? If they are low,this could cause your problem 2. chronic yeast infection of the lips could cause your symptoms. Have you tried an antifungal? Hope this helps!
