A member asked:

I have a cut at the corner of my lip what. does that mean maybe cause its dry a lot pleaz help?

Lip issue: Dryness of the lip can definitely contribute to your lips getting cracked and cut on. Without further history, i cannot tell you more. Making sure you apply ample lip lubrication is important to prevent further dryness and chapping.
