Brief Answer:
Cheilitis

Detailed Answer:
Hello. Thank you for writing to us

I am dr.kakkar (dermatologist). I have gone through your query and I have noted your concern.

You have cheilitis i.e inflammation of lips which can present as dryness and cracking of lips. Cheilitis can be due to vitamin deficiency or sometimes due to harsh weather and excess sun exposure.
I would suggest you to use Flutivate cream, twice daily, for a week. Thereafter you may use a lip balm with SPF, regularly e.g Chaptex lip balm.
I would also suggest you to take a B-complex vitamin supplement, once daily e.g Becosule- Z Capsule.
