Chapped lips is a condition whereby the lips become dry and possibly cracked. It may be caused by the evaporation of moisture. Often the lips become dry because the layer of oil that is naturally produced by the body to coat the lips is removed or is lacking. Causes vary, but the most common cause of chapped lips is due to cold weather conditions.
Symptoms of chapped lips may include the lips being dry, red and swollen, small cracks, and peeling of the skin on the lips. Chapped lips are also known to be a little pale.Some people even bleed when they are too dry.
