May now be eczema: Persistent chapped lips may be lip eczema and can be treated like skin eczema, using a week of hydrocortisone, and Aquaphor to retain moisture. Sometimes lipsticks or sunscreen chemicals are causing an allergic reaction on the lips. Other times, a person is has become lip-licker after a lip illness (it's his habit). Once cracked, lips get irritated by routine foods and juices. Dermatologist helps.
