Hello. There are a few things which need to be known before going in for diagnosis of your symptoms. Firstly, do you have any supari, pan, gutkha, khaini or any other tobacco products? Does the burning sensation aggravate when you have hot or spicy food? Do you have trouble in opening your mouth?
Please do consult an oral and maxillofacial surgeon to get thorough diagnosis and treatment.

Get your oral cavity checked thoroughly by a dentist. A specialist in oral medicine and radiology or an oral pathologist would be better. It could be because of any lesions or conditions in your mouth that has led to loss of taste and cracked lips. It could also simply be due to dehydration.
