How can i heal my severely dry lips without overusing hydrocortisone? my dermatologist said i have eczema and prescribed it to me for a weeks use but if i dont continuously use it my lips began to dry up again.

Lip allergy, eczema: Persistent chapped lips may be lip eczema, and can be treated like skin eczema, using hydrocortisone cream plus Aquaphor to retain moisture. Sometimes lipsticks or 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. Dermatologist might give non-steroidal help.
