Chapped lips
Hi from past 3 4 weeks I have very very dry lips. They are very scaly. Have tried applying everything from petroleum jelly to mustard oil to ghee. Nothing seems to be working and they are getting drier each day. There is a slight burning sensation and it feels the skin above the upper lips is shrinking which is causing cuts on the lips. There is no side cuts though.
