i had bad chapped lips to, not the ring thing, but the doc told me to...
STOP LICKING MY LIPS!
after that, my lips were back to in about a week.
so try that and see what happens
if you dont lick your lips, sorry that this was of no use

When I lived in Las Vegas and Reno, I used the plain old strawberry Chapstick brand all the time and never had any problems.

As soon as I moved to Columbus, OH, the regular chapstick stopped working for me and my lips got SO chapped that I'd have this red, sore, peeling area all over the skin just above my lip (almost like a red, sore mustache). It was terrible.

I finally started using Carmex (the kind that comes in the tube; I also started smearing some of it over the top of my lip where the red part was, too) and it stopped happening. The red part went away and I've been using Carmex ever since (although I had to get used to using the goopy tube stuff instead of the nice, neat stick that I was so used to before this).

I thought about trying to go back to my tried and true Chapstick brand, but I'm worried it'll start happening, again.

Good luck!

My sinuses get dried out sometimes, esp. winter time, so I don't salivate much and my mouth dries out near my lips so i lick it and I sometimes get my lips and that's enough. Also being dry makes bacterias grow. And the bacterias can make you want to always eat to keep your mouth tasting like the last meal instead of bacteria waste Razz So i use saline nasal spray, the salt water stuff, and I douse my nose holes with it really good and then I have to swallow it. So I found some taste better than others Smile That also makes me feel awakened like I can think clearly.
