Extreme drying of inner portion of lips...not the lips exactly but the skin going towards inside mouth. Joining area of inner lips and outer lips. I drink a lot of water so I m hydrated as well and not that much dry season still problem is there. Specially the area get chapped when I get up in the morning. Possible causes?
