It could be due to some trauma on your lips or due to dryness on your lips.
Don't try to pull it off, because more you try to pull it, the more trauman you may create on your lips.
Simply apply some moisturizing lip balm or simple vaseline.
Drink a lot of water.
Stay safe n healthy

Hi ,
Your lips are naturally slightly everted and what u r seeing is cracks due to dryness of the lips. You can apply lip balm or vaselin to keep them moist. Dont try to pull it off with the teeth and it vl heal very soon . Take care
