Upper and sides of the lips chap

2022-01-31 08:23:48
I have had chapped lips issues since the pandemic began. I am not sure if that's an allergy. I can only wear a cloth mask. When I wear an N95 mask due to sweat and lack of ventilation my lips peel off. Also when I apply astringent after a lot of burning the chapness dies down. Please help
