About lip eczema: Persistent chapped skin near or on the lips may be lip eczema, which is usually treated like skin eczema, using hydrocortisone cream for a week, plus Vaseline or Aquaphor to retain moisture. Lip sunscreen chemicals sometimes can cause an allergic reaction on lips. Other times, a person is a primary lip-licker (it is a habit). Once cracked, lips get irritated by routine foods, juices, or saliva.
