Flaking lips

My lips are always flaking and peel off since last few years. I have used Glycerine, Ointment, Kenacomb, Santomet Ointment, Advantan Ointment and some others directed by the Skin Specialist but couldn’t cure them. My lips were thin before but now they have been big in size. My lips were naturally bright red. But its colour has also been changed and size as well. I don’t peel off the flaking skin but it becomes smooth when I get a shower and it peels during showering. I have been so anxious about them. I am also getting scare that it would not get more bigger in size. I had done some blood test but they’re OK.

Could you please advise me that how can I stop my lips from flaking? Could you advise me to use any balm or whatever that can cure them forever?

Thanks,

Note: I drink plenty of water & I don't lick my lips.

Are you drinking plenty of water or otherwise keeping hydrated? Also if you lick your lips a lot they can become very dry.

If your lips are swollen and changed color as well as peeling skin, an allergy might be suspected. Maybe something you eat or drink regularly? Was this "skin specialist" a medical doctor, or just a specialist in cosmetics? You definitely need to have this evaluated by a medical doctor - maybe an allergist in particular. And if that doctor is not successful you need to consult another. This is not a normal condition and needs to be resolved.

I have the same problem with lips, and they also crack sometime. I know of others that have this condition, it is difficult to diagnose, Dr said use chap stick  but it get a little better and it comes back again . Drink enough water, and do not lick lips, they are always covered with chapstick. The area that I apply chap stick is on the lips and above and below, will get some numbness from chap stick
