Extreme lip dryness suddenly
I haven't used any new lip product
But i am experiencing lip dryness no matter how much i apply lip balm or vaseline or boro plus.
Like immediately after washing my lips with water, they become super dry.
Pls suggest what to do. ALSO could it be a sign of any STI ?

Hi there...
Lip dryness can have many different causes and STi is a long shot.
Like a colleague appears to have mentioned, avoid AI & Dr Google.
Having said that, a more detailed history and discussion appears on the cards and for privacy issues et al, probably best to connect Online using this App's INSTANT ONLINE Consultation or similar portals like Apollo 24/7 to get you a tailor made quick solution.
Best regards & Godspeed
P. s.. avoid OTC products and home remedies and consult a Qualified Dermatologist 🙏
