With the onset of cold days, many people experience the problem of chapped lips. This not only causes discomfort in appearance but can also be accompanied by pain, itching, and bleeding.
Experts emphasize that lips are much more delicate and unprotected compared to other parts of the body. For this reason, wind, cold, dry air, or direct sunlight affect them quickly. Dehydration or a deficiency of vitamins, especially vitamins A, B, C, and E, can also lead to dryness and chapping of the lips.
Additionally, habits such as licking or biting the lips, stress, allergies, certain medications, and fungal infections around the mouth and lips worsen the condition. In such cases, maintaining basic hygiene, drinking enough water, including vitamin-rich foods in the diet, and applying various honey or oily balms help. In prolonged or severe cases, consulting a doctor is necessary.
