What Is The Remedy For Dry Lips?

the outline of my lips have been really dry for a couple of weeks now. They are itchy and I have noticed a few bumps in them which feel wet when I touch them. I am not sure what is wrong. I have used nivea lip gloss for quite a few years now. Don t know if it could have happened due to that.

Hi,

I can understand your concern for itchy, chapped lips since multiple weeks.

You have not mentioned in your query about your age and since how long you have these problems.

There can be multiple reason for chapped lips but most commonly there are two important reason: - contact dermatitis with any chemicals and the "self licking" process. Both of these can coexist together.

Just check for the things coming in the contact of the lips as well as stop licking the lips. Drink lot of water and increase fruits intake. Hope these informations are helpful. If you have any further query I will be happy to help.

Wish you good health,
Regards,
