I advise you to consult a dermatologist online or in person, share clear pictures, and get a personalized treatment plan. Only after proper evaluation can the right medicines (creams/tablets) be prescribed

Chronic dry lips could be due to vitamin B complex deficiency, dehydration or some underlying eczema. If regular lip creams are not helping you out then you may consult a dermatologist to know better and effect u options
