Hi there! I'm a 17 year old male boy from lucknow. I have been experiencing a lot of problem regarding my lips. They tend to crack very often and gets chapped easily. They split not only from the sides but on the upper lips too and looks like a cut. It is very difficult to speak in this state as I experience a lot of pain. I tried applying an antiseptic cream called BoroPlus but it does not helps and it gives and irritating feeling on and around my lips, I also tried using glycerine but it makes my lips blackened and gives a burning effect. I use my own glass separated from other people and I use a medicated toothpaste called RA Thermoseal. It happens extremely often to me and does not gets cured for more than 2 weeks. And help would be appreciated.

First of all. Extreme cracking of lips occurs due to dehydration and lack of nutrition. Drink 10 glasses of water daily. Take a multivitamin tablet daily. Secondly apply warm desi ghee twice a day on your lips. In the day time or when you are outside, apply nivea or any other good lib balm many times a day. Slowly your lips will get fine.
