Constantly dry lips

When I was growing up in South Dakota, I found the ultimate cure, One day while working with my dad, I was complaining about having chapped lips, and he reached down and stuck his finger in some fresh chicken shit, and quickly rubbed it on my lips.

I asked him WTF? And he told me it would keep me from licking my lips.
 
Pontifex, if you're constantly dealing with issues breathing through your nose, you might have a deviated septum. Have you seen an Ear/Nose/Throat recently?

I'm having surgery for mine tomorrow...
 
Most all external diseases and irritations starts from within, dry skin is usually a sign of improper hydration, make sure you drink enough water. But I'm sure someone has said this before I posted.

You might want to mention it the next time you see one. A ridiculous amount of people have a deviated septum and don't even know it.
 
I have the same problem and have for years. It really sucks. 🙁

Went to the doctor and it turns out I have enlarged adenoids (which causes me to mouth-breath when I'm sleeping), likely resulting from some kind of allergy.

Need to go and get allergy tested...
