Brief Answer:

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Welcome
I have gone through your query.
As you have mentioned that it has been happening since last 6 month, so i assume it is not related to climate change. Main reason for chapped lips, is using moisturizers or lip guard, which will make the glands in the lip to work less. Using the saliva to rub on the lips with tongue is harmful. It will increase the dryness. As saliva evaporates, it dehydrates further. Only during winter season, you might require moisturizers on lips, other times, you should avoid.
I would suggest you to drink plenty of water to be hydrated as dehydration could cause chapped lips. Take multivitamin tablet as vitamin B deficiency is known to cause dryness in angles of mouth and also dry lips. Improve your diet with fish, eggs, and green leafy vegetables. Avoid touching the lips with tongue or applying saliva. Use water to moisturize it. Avoid any sort of lip balms as it is present proving not to be helpful.
This provisional advice provided by me is based entirely on the input provided to me. I would suggest examination by the doctor.
Hope this helps.
Take care.
