Lip problem

2020-07-22 03:04:07
I've been having a lot of dryness around my lips. It doesn't happen on the lips though. And it's very painful especially on the corners of the lips because they've cracked and gotten worse over time. It's been happening since 4-5 months and hasn't stopped regardless of what balm or oil I've used. Please suggest something or let me know what's happening.
