Chronic dry lips
I have had dry lips for 6 months now. It started at corner of my upper right corner of lip and slowly the whole upper lip. And now in the below lip, left side corner. Its dry, scaly. When in do apply Vaseline or lip gloss, or zinc oxide, dryness is not there but once I remove all this, lips get dried even worse than before, like I can't smile, if I smile, my lips get torn from the dryness. The lower lip is least affected by all this. It normal. I have hypothyroid. I take regular medication.
