Apparently that kid had some sort of lip infection and passed it on to me. Do the symptoms sound familiar, and is there a cure? I haven't been able to get to a dermatologist since I am in a medically underserved area of Indiana.

Hi, This could be a part of Cheilitis, which is a medical condition involving inflammation of the lip. Or a bad case of Chapped lips , a condition whereby the lips become dry and possibly cracked. It may be caused by the evaporation of moisture. Lip balm can often provide temporary relief, though it should not be used extensively. One should avoid licking their lips as saliva contains the enzyme amylase, which can damage the already compromised lip tissue.

Every time I get cracked lips, and it is often, I think I am getting dehydrated. There are a lot of days in the winter that I just don't feel like drinking water and I think it takes a toll on skin and lips. I use Bert's Bees too and it helps some but I mainly have to refocus on the water.

I woke up two weeks ago with the left side of my lips cracked. since then they've healed, but now they're constantly burning, itchy and dark spots are left behind. It also feels like they are swelling. (mainly my top lip) I've never had this happen before. I wasn't using anything on my lips besides chapstick.

My lips have been chapped, sore, cracked, red and irritating for absolutely ages. I have dermatitis and eczema on my face and arms, so could it have been transferred through scratching to my lips?

As a result of my chapped lips I believe I received an infection that must have occurred when my cracked lips encountered some virus or bacteria. I have redness around my mouth, irritation (itching), occasional minor swelling, and dry lips. I went to emergency room when it first started. Thinking it was an allergic reaction, the doctor gave me a shot or benedryl and a hot of cordisone to relieve swelling.

Also, my lips were very chapped. They were so chapped, in fact that they were cracked and flaking. There was no active bleeding, but they do have the small tears that make it look like it is.

The down side is that they hurt. The tissue around the lips is cracked, and the corners are the worst. In the mornings, my lips (and surrounding damaged tissue) are covered with green stuff, and when I try to wipe it off, it feels like I'm peeling off live skin. It's difficult to eat, brush my teeth, and even talk.
