Dry and cracked lips

2018-01-02 06:57:46
My lips are dry and lip balms have not been effective. Used Nivea , Vaseline etc. It's same for last one month. Can you suggest some other lip balms or any other effective method to get rid of it.

This may be more than just dryness if you are not having imnprovement with lip balms; Vaseline jelly in general is good enough in most cases. If its still persisting please see a qualified dermatologist near you for further examination and treatment, since this could be chelitis. Warm Regards, Dr Govind Suresh Mittal, Bengaluru
