What Is The Solution For Dryness, Peeling And Blister In Lips?
I woke up 2 mornings ago with very dry, peeling and almost blistering lips. I'm a 42 year old woman, 5 foot 2 inches, 125 pounds, very healthy and active. I can't figure out why this happened and how to remedy the situation. Blistex is not helping.

Hi. thanks for posting in at HCM
Very dry and inflammed lips might not respond very well with just Blistex.
If i were your treating doctor i would have asked you to apply a moderately potent steroid like Fluticasone twice daily for a week and then continue later on with Blistex.
take care
