How To Treat A Cracked And Red Lip?
My son keep telling my husband and I his lips hurt. When we looked at them they were dry looking and since it was really cold outside so we just thought he needed some lotion or lip balm. Well a few days later we noticed around his lips were red and looked cracked. We just started putting Carmax on them and we are wondering if there is anything else we should be doing? And what is going on?

Hello,
Welcome to healthcare magic,
Chapping of lips due to extreme cold weather is common. Carmex can be continued. Do not lick the lips to wet it. Avoid extreme cold. Drink plenty of water.
Hope this helped,
Take care.
