You shouldn't bite it off - it can rip the skin even if just a little and the hardness is probably from the skin trying to heal.  Use vitamin E on your lips, try not to lick them or bite at them, and drink lots and lots of water!  Most dry skin is caused by lack of water in the system.

You can get chapped lips if you're dehydrated, or if the air is really dry or cold. Make sure you're getting enough water, for starters. Now, you don't have lip balm, I guess, but how about vaseline, or an unscented hand cream? A tiny dab of shortening or lard would work in a pinch, too. UNsalted butter would work, but not salted, which will just suck more moisture out of your lips. Anything that is going to seal the cracks and soften your lips so you can move them without pain is good. If you have the patience to soften some candle wax in your hands and try rubbing that on your lips, it might work. Beeswax is great. Try, try, try not to lick your lips. It feels better for a moment, but then the moisture evaporates and it just gets worse. I suggest getting a tube of lip balm for each coat pocket, so you always have it with you. Chapped lips are no fun.

Definitely use Burt's Bees Chapstick.  It's way better than the rest.  And use it consistently in the winter, not just when your lips start getting chapped.

I'm not  a male, but the same age, \nYour lips will be so dry, you won't want to go out sometimes, but this will pass, and the other bad thing, well pretty much every oriface on your body dries up, so when I needed to have a bowel movement it really hurt, so my suggestion is that if you're not really regular, take some extra fibre, like Metamucil or something, because if you go a couple of days without a bowel movement, it will be very painful....

Ok...I just got them today at 10:30 am and they felt really weird at first like my mouth was full. They felt really big. Also its weird closing your lips cause they are so dry when they take the lip separators out (So my advice would be to put on some chap stick or lip balm...) Its been about 7.5 hrs and they don't hurt yet. But they will tomorrow. Although I can feel them getting sore : (. I know that they will hurt very bad after adjusting appointments so I'm going to take Tylenol or Advil.\n\nGood luck with your treatment

The first step in preventing chapped lips is to stop licking. Constant wetting and drying sucks the moisture from lips' outer layer, causing them to feel dry, which prompts more licking, creating a vicious cycle. Dehydrated lips are also more susceptible to dry, windy conditions. \n-- A moisturizing lip balm, especially those containing dimethicone, will help retain natural moisture and protect dry, chapped lips. \n-- Drinking lots of water will help prevent dehydration, which may contribute to chapped lips and dry skin. \n-- Smoothing a generous coating of lip balm on lips before bed will help to moisturize lips while you sleep. \n-- The sun's UV rays are responsible for 90 percent of visible damage we commonly attribute to aging. A lip balm that contains a sun protection factor (SPF) of at least 15 will help prevent sunburn during outdoor activities, and may reduce the risks of skin aging, skin cancer, and other harmful effects of the sun. \n-- Regular lipstick products, especially some long-wearing varieties, may feel drying. A base coat of lip balm will add needed moisture during winter months. \n-- If lips become chapped, avoid wearing lipsticks while lips are recovering as drying products in color pigments may irritate chapped lips. Also keep acidic foods from touching delicate lips until they've healed. \n-- Lip exfoliators such as Softlips Nightly Care(TM) buff away dry, dead skin cells and stimulate growth of new, vibrant cells. The interactive Beta Hydroxy formula of Softlips Nightly Care(TM) conditions lips that may be sensitive to strong Alpha Hydroxy chemical peels, and the overnight system helps reduce concern about sun damage to freshly exfoliated skin. \n\nFor more information and tips, see the website below!

I use that stuff.  The soft wax stays on longer than regular lipsticks and keeps the lips soft.  Protects them from the wind, cold ect.  The stuff works.

You need to take a b vitamin and lysine tablets. I had a problem with that and that is what my doctor told me to do. The other thing that helps is to get this mouth rinse made by Colgate, it's called Peroxel or something like that. You'll know it when you see it. It is for mouth sores.\nOn the bottle of Lysine that I have it says healthy lips and mouth tissue may be affected by sun exposure, trauma, emotional anxiety, and high body temp. Lysine, an aminoacid may be helpful in maintaining healthy lips and mouth tissue Lysinealso helps calcium absorption, helps collegen and tissue renewal and aids in the production of antibodies, hormones and enzymes.\n\nAnyway it has helped everyone in my family. Good Luck because they are painful.

Lots of clear fluids (like water, apple juice, tea (no milk))  and time.  Rest alot and in time it will pass.  the fluids will help you to not become dehydrated and it will help to flush out your system too.  \n\nGet well soon  :(

Yes, drink lots of water. \nAnd I have an unusual lip protector. I love Mentholatum! It feels good. The menthol is soothing, and it isn't heavy and won't feel caked on like the waxy chapstick and Carmex. I have also noticed with the waxy stuff that it holds heat and feels 'wrong', as if it might foster the growth of bacteria.

You should see a Doctor first. I have a homemade remedy Lip-Ex and I take my Aloe plant and put the juice in it and stir it. But you may want to ask your Doctor first in case you are allergic to Aloe.

Drink alot of water.  Your body is more prone to drying and cracking when it's less hydrated.  That blistex in the blue tube is good i buy it all the time for my bf (it tastes good).  But water is the key to keeping your body hydrated.

Wow, sorry, that sounds really gross.  First of all, quit smoking.  Second, use some lip balm -- Blistex is a great healing ointment.  Maybe try some anti-aging lip treatment -- Clinique makes a good one, you can get it in department stores.  If your lips are really that bad, you might be able to get laser treatments to zap out the discoloration.
