  1. First off stop l*****g your lips.  Cool clean water used on a clean washcloth to clean them after every meal.  And invest in vaseline intensive lip treatment to keep them moist.  

    See if this helps.  

    My lips dry and crack as well and I have tried this and it works.

    Good luck! x*x


  2. You pic was not so great, but in the corners of the mouth there is a conditon known as angular chelitis, we see it all the time in dental offices, and use a topical anti-fungal to cure it..

    All the lip balms in the world won't work you need some: Nystatin or Chlotrimazole, Rx'd by your dentist or physician (otc anti-fungals may help but may not be strong enough)

  3. I can't see anything wrong with your lips from the picture, but maybe you should see a doctor who specializes in skin problems.  A dermatologist.  Or maybe your family doctor can prescribe something.  

    If you do not have insurance or doctor, try going to a free or low-cost clinic in your area.  Hope this helps!
