Chapped, dry lips

Chapped, dry lips feel rough, cracked, and sometimes painful. This symptom often includes flaking, peeling skin, and can bleed in severe cases. Exposure to cold weather, dehydration, and frequent licking of the lips frequently cause this condition. In some cases, it can indicate underlying health issues like dehydration, vitamin deficiencies, or even diabetes.
