Iron deficiency or vitamin b12.
Check your diet and/supplements.
Try your GP as it could be solved with a simple anti biotic cream.
Good luck

Me too joko! Have been using various lotions to moisturise but it doesn't seem to do much good so am going to get to my GP sometime next week see if they can suggest anything!

[eash]

Me as well!
Think it's to do with the weather personally!

[boxtops]

Ask your pharmacist sophie - unless you need a prescription, the pharmacists are well qualified to be able to advise, and it saved you trying to have to get a doctor's appointment.

[sophie_1003]

Ta boxtops, will do that because hate to be a time waster and keep forgetting to make an appointment anyway!

i dont think its any type of infection, its not red or blistered etc, its just little cracks that sting a bit...probably just dry lips then i suppose

thanks all, ill check those links out...maybe i need a vitamin or somehting

I find certain things give me those little cracks like ice pops and those plastic spoons you get with shop bought spup and such.
