hi there.
your concern is cheilitis, there are many reasons for it, which need to be evaluated.
1. never use betnovate n cream for any purpose.
2. it's a steroid.
3. it permanently damages the lip mucosa.
4. instead try chaptex lip balm, every second hourly on wet lips.
5. have plenty of water, atleast 2-3 liters depending on your occupation.
6. start tacroz 0.03% oint,once daily bed time for 2 weeks.
this may help you.
