At your age, if you have acne, a commonly prescribed treatment is isotretioin - which can cause lip dryness and chapping. If your not on any triggering medications then getting an examination would be advisable to rule out dermatitis or other nutritional deficiencies or any other illness involving skin &/or lips. Hope this was helpful.
