Common Questions and Answers about How to heal dry cracked lips naturally
lip
This isn’t a question but I’ve seen people asking how to heal raw lips and no one has a answer. All you have to do is leave your lips dry and put no chapstick petroleum or moisturizer on your lip. The patches that show up on your lip are trying to form a scab on your lip to heal and replace your skin underneath this will take a while so your mask will be your best friend because it won’t look pretty.
I have been having seriously burning and itchy lips for the past 3 weeks. I went to the pharmacy. The pharmacist said it was cold sores, and recommend me the Zovirax cream. I used it for a few days and the the painful feeling was somewhat suppressed. However, after stopping using the cream, my lips were cracked and dry and tingling. I tried different lip balms, such as Carmex and Burt's Bee, to heal them, but then the burning and itchiness came back!
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.
Secondly, it can be due to atopic dermatitis or eczema. Cheilitis(Inflammation of the skin on and around the lips)is often seen in atopic dermatitis. Diagnosed by blood test like RAST. Treatment is by topical steroids or oral therapy of corticosteroids in severe cases. Topical creams like tacrolimus ointment (Protopic) and pimecrolimus cream (Elidel) are also useful. My sincere advice would be to consult a dermatologist.
I hope it helps.

Come to find out i was allergic to chap-stick ans when i would apply it to my dry lips trying to heal them i was actually making them swell and split, and to be honest i didnt even know my lips were swollen, it didnt even look like it, but they were and thats why the sore couldn't heal. Use aquaphore on your lips instead, it worked for me, the sore was gone in 5 days!!!
Dehydration is the commonest cause of dry cracked lips but you appear to be taking enough fluids. The other possibility is iron and Vit B deficiency. Along with multivitamin B (not a multivitamin which also has other vitamins) take an iron preparation and see.
They can also be caused by allergies and infections. You could either be suffering from contact dermatitis or from allergy to some food. You should get an allergy test done, either a skin test or RAST, to know what you are allergic to.
Me too!!! My lips are beyond cracked. They're pilling and bleeding. I hate to kiss my bf because I'm always worried about them being rough lol. I've tried everything from drinking tons of water, carmax, vasoline and even cooking with olive oil (for internal moisture) still the same...
Is it possible to have constant herpes outbreak in the vaginal area? I don't have any sores. I reduced washing the area often and the discharge I had months ago went away. I also noticed when I had my periods it seemed to relieve the itching and discharge and now the discharge is gone but I still have some itching but its so mild, just that its a bit constant and I need to know what's going on. The nurse examined me when I first had the complaints and she said there were no sores.
Suggest you have her checked by her MD, if you are concerned. Bloodwork will determine if she has any decrease in vitamins or minerals.

Whether this is eczema or not cannot be said with surety without having a look at the lesions.
