A picture would be incredibly helpful. In the meantime, I would stop using anything other than petroleum jelly on your lips - absolutely nothing containing flavors, preservatives, propolis, lanolin, or other potential allergens. Be sure to **liberally** apply petroleum jelly nightly to help protect the skin from moisture. And then I would do everything in your power to avoid licking your lips.
