Serious Lip Peeling Issue

[KennyBee]

Ive been having this problem for a year now, my bottom lip has been peeling and it seems as if the main skin on the lip is peeling away because the skin after that is dry, scaly and white...when i try to wet it with water it seems as if nothing can make it wet....i believe that i have an allergic reaction to something but I just want to know if the skin on my lower lip will grow back or its gone?

I you've had this problem or know someone with it and can help me out, please comment and let me know what i can/should I do?

This has been going on for to long and has affected my life in a way...so please leave comments!

Thanks!

Had the same problem for a year now. I've found out that relaxation and meditation help the lips not to crack. Try getting more quality sleep as well and of course healthy diet goes without a question.

My lips are always dry and most of the time is the lower lips. I peel it every times when its dry because i cant apply any lip balm  when its dry. It feel like there's a layer blocking it, but today after i peel it i ate some thing it's pain and after a while the right of my down lips swollen. What can i do??

Last week I made my own lip balm and this is the first time in 50 years I have not had chapped lips!!! I have had chapped peeling lips my entire life. My baby pictures all show a cracked red line in the middle of the bottom lip. As a teenager I bought Blistex in the big tubes but if I ran out, the chapped lips came back. Regular ChapStick was useless... Just sat on top of peeling lips. Vaseline not much better. So for the past few years I would take a very very long shower every morning so the flakes absorb lots of water and then very gently exfoliate them off with a kessa glove. Then put on whatever lip balm I had. If I skipped this, I would have flakes all day. And in any case, by the afternoon my lip skin was hardening up. Blistex is hard to find in France where I now live so I started experimenting. I am floored...I found something that works! After fifty effing years with this problem. I do not know which ingredient is responsible for the "cure."
The cure:
I made a balm with 2 tsp beeswax, 1 tsp borage oil, 1 tsp grapeseed oil and 5 drops essential oil of ho wood.
I had done my standard long shower and deflaking and applied my new homemade balm. No more flakes. And no more hardening up of the skin! Holy moly. I still apply this balm during the day and before bed (as I had with other balms and/or Vaseline) but now when I wake up I do not have chapped lips! I no longer have to take a long shower to humidity the flakes to rub them off!I have no more flakes!
To make lip balm, melt wax and oil together in a double boiler (you can use a coffee or expresso or sake cup in a pan of water). Remove from heat. Add some drops of essential oil. I would like to test my "invention" on other chapped lip sufferers.

Hello all, I had dry scaly lip problem since I was a kid 9/10 years old was always constipated.
Fast forward 42 years, yes I'm 52 now. A few  weeks ago i noticed i had dark green stools, still constipated, Anyway i did some research that led to sodium deficiencies.
Made some sole with pink himalayan  rock salt, added 1 teaspoon of sole to a glass of spring water every morning.

The result was amazing, stool turned normal after just 2 days and scaly lip problem gone in similar amount of time.

Have yourself tested for sodium deficiencies.

I have had the same skin peeling issues on my bottom lip, as people have described here.  

My problems actually started after my cancer treatment, and I have dry skin all over my body now.

I find that using pure Almond Oil on my lips,  has helped me a great deal.  I'm not sure if this will help others, but I wanted to share this because if it can give relief to someone else, then that's wonderful.

Another thing that helps my condition generally is reducing the sugar and processed foods in my diet.  I have no idea why this helps!  These things just seem to exacerbate my condition.

I hope and pray that this will work for some of you.

1) Try applying butter on your lips before you go to bed....

2) Brush your teeth before you go to the bed...the gems which usually forms after you sleep can damage your lips...

3) drink a liter of water in between every meal...this will cleanse your stomach in the morning...a clean stomach makes your mouth and breath fresh and reduces drying of lips...

4) don't lick your lips
