Could aquaphor aggravate my lip dermatitis as it is the only new product to reduce dry lips. not using anything on lips except aquaphor. hydrocortisone cleared lips but if i stop and apply aquaphor, scaly dry lips are back next day. 3rd time in a row?

Persistent chapped lips may be lip eczema, and can be treated like skin eczema, using weaning hydrocortisone, plus Aquaphor to retain moisture. Sometimes lipsticks or sunscreen chemicals cause 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. A dermatologist might give non-steroidal help.
