I have eczema and whenever i kiss my partner my lips get really dry, similar to cheilitis (in the corners but primarily a lot of cracking and dryness that outlines my lips). is there are precautionary measure or method that i could try to avoid this?

Use emollients: See dermatologist for eval and poss Tx which might include emollients, which are special dry skin creams or ointments to use daily. Suggest to avoid any makeup on the lips and use very mild cleansers such as Dove
