Dry, flaky and cracked skin around lips
I've dry skins around my lips for quite some time and it's getting hard to heal. Actually my condition has been going on for months and it's getting worse. I've use many lip balms and nothing seems to work. I have not tried home remedies yet and my lips can get itchy and burning sensation sometimes.
