Extremely dry lips
Extremely dry and chapped lips.Apply lip balms all the time but of no use. seems that i have got some skin infection or something due to which it is happening. I have thyroid also but for that i take regular treatments and medication. I am facing this issue from past 3-4 months. Its not at all normal dryness, its like extreme extreme dryness.
Refrain from licking your lips as it will only worsen your dryness and cause further irritation. Avoid lip sticks, lip gloss for time being. If you use lip balms opt for non coloured, fragrance free, bland lip balms. Use them as frequently as and when you feel dryness. Avoid gel based toothpastes. If nothing works seek help from dermatologist.
