How to cure my lips dryness and itching? - #9844
I am currently experiencing a severe sunburn on my lips, which has caused multiple uncomfortable symptoms. After being exposed to the sun, my lips became extremely dry and started peeling excessively. The skin is coming off in small flakes, and the surface of my lips feels rough and damaged. Along with the dryness, I am also feeling a significant amount of pain, especially when I try to eat, talk, or even move my lips. At times, the skin cracks and it feels like slight bleeding might occur, although there is no major bleeding yet. Yesterday, my lips were also swollen, which added to the discomfort. I used an ice pack, and thankfully, the swelling has reduced since then. However, the dryness, pain, and peeling have continued. The condition is clearly a result of sunburn, as the symptoms started shortly after sun exposure. My lips feel extremely sensitive, and no regular lip balm seems to help.
