Chapped, or cracked, lips is the term commonly used to describe dry lips. Chapped lips can be caused by several factors, that include weather, excessive licking of the lips, certain medications and cosmetic application.sometimes u may develop a more severe form of chapped lips called cheilitis. Cheilitis can be caused by an infection, characterised by cracked skin at the corners of the lips. U can use a medicated lip balm like Sebamed lip balm daily. If the problem still persists then consult a Dermatologist for the same.
