Help With Extremely Dry Lips?

Hi. I work at a dermatology office. We do get a lot of patients that come in with the same complaint as you. It is a dermatitis of the lips. My son actually has suffered from this too. The main treatment is actually to apply a low dosage of prescription steroid cream and for moisturization to the lips they recommend Aquaphor Healing OIntment - on the same order as Vaseline, but it seems to promote healing much better. Your lips may actually be having an allergic or irritant reaction to some of the products you are using. A dermatologist can give you a steroid if you would like to try that, or else, I would suggest eliminating all products from your lips, no makeup products either, and try just Aquaphor exclusively and see how that works for you. Also, try to wash with something like Cetaphil wash or Dove unscented for sensitive skin. But chapsticks and other products usually do not help this condition, as it is a dermatitis. Hope this helps!
