Hello, chapped and peeling lips are primarily related to environmental factors. If the surrounding air is dry, it’s important to use lip balm regularly to help retain moisture and alleviate chapping. Secondly, this condition may be associated with “excess internal heat” (a concept in Traditional Chinese Medicine), such as from consuming spicy foods or developing heat-related symptoms during a cold. In such cases, lip peeling is often accompanied by localized discomfort or pain. Under a physician’s guidance, you may consider taking heat-clearing medications—for example, Huang Lian Shang Qing Pian (Coptis Decoction for Clearing Heat from the Upper Burner). We hope this information is helpful to you. Wishing you a pleasant and healthy life!
