“Dry, itchy lips?”
I have itchy, dry, chapped lips and sometimes it feels like they hurt and it's like they have more wrinkles than before. I bit them in the past several times and I think this might be the root cause. I have applied different lip balms, but they don't seem to help too much.

Lip licking is a common cause of dry chapped lips. We are compelled to lick our lips if they are dry, but the saliva irritates the skin and dries them out further. Try to not lick your lips and carry around Vaseline to apply to your lips frequently. If this does not work then it is time to visit your local Dermatologist.
