Hello! Chapped and peeling lips are a very common condition in daily life—especially during the autumn and winter months. Primary treatment approaches include:
1. **Lip moisturization**: The first step is to keep your lips well-hydrated—for example, by applying a moisturizing lip balm.
2. **Topical treatments**: Commonly used agents include vitamin E ointment, erythromycin ointment, and olive oil.
3. **Dietary therapy**: Incorporate foods rich in vitamin C, such as oranges, tangerines, lemons, and grapefruits.
I hope this information is helpful to you. Wishing you a happy and healthy life!
