Severe Chapped Lips

+1 there's something about Burt's Bees that always made my lips worse. Aquaphor makes a lip balm that's really good and not messy.

Check your toothpaste for sulfates. Many have them and they’re extremely drying to some people’s lips. Nothing worked for me until I switched, now I use Sensodyne and almost immediately severely chapped lips were healed!

Thank you all for your recommendations. I did take him back to urgent care and it turned out to be Impetigo! We have a prescription now for his lips. Poor boy is sad he is missing all the fun things this week at school.

Thank you again all.
