Hi.
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC.

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain sticky feeling of lips can be due to dryness or chapping of lips, infection or can also be due to Dry mouth..
I would suggest you to consult an Oral Physician and get evaluated and a thorough clinical evaluation can help in diagnosis..
As of now you should apply Petroleum jelly over the lips..
Drink plenty of water..
Avoid sucking or licking your lips frequently..
You can also do cool compresses over the lips..
Avoid excessive exposure to sunlight and dust..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
