Hi Lakshmi,
You seem to be having cheilitis which could be due to number of causes like dry weather, frequent licking of lips, sun exposure, nutritional deficiency, eczema etc.
To treat the same
Apply Vaseline over lips as many times as required
Apply a steroid antibiotic cream for few days
Do not lick your lips and do not remove chapped skin.
Hope that helps. Take care
