Default what can I do for this?

Hannah has this bad habit of licking the corners of her mouth. Well it is resulting in a really chapped and cracked area. I put lip balm on it whenever possible (and it's homemade stuff... not made by me specifically but stil homemade rather than the commercial stuff) but is there something else that will help with it? it really looks sore.

another thing that seems to be bothering me more than it bothers her lol.

I find lemon balm works really well on super chapped lips and it's all natural.

I buy it from here. WiseWays Herbals: Lemon Balm Salve 1 oz.

It has always worked for any type of skin issues we have had, including chapped lips. I actually just showed it to my Dr. as well to make sure it was safe to use on Chloe and she was pleased with the ingredients and said it was great for Chloe too.

Edit to add: you can also try something with Calendula in it.

Edit again because the link stuff has Calendula in it already, lol

I used to lick my lips a lot 2, i dried them out pretty bad. my mom started putting on medicated lip balm (supposed to be used for winter or really bad lips) they saved my lips not only cuz they work, but because they tasted NASTY lol

oh and I also have a bad habbit of picking my lips.. now THATS bad.

Make sure you don't put any kind of salve on there that tastes good!
