Anti Aging Skin Tips

I have chapped lips and when the skin grows back it peels off how can I stop this?

I'll list some details about how I got to this point, I used to pick at my upper lip at the middle when I was around 12 and I kept doing it for about 4 years, Ive stopped for a while, almost like 1 year, and its gotten worse. Ive got this ugly mark on the middle of my upper lip and when the skin regrows on my upper lip it just starts to become white when I take a shower or if I drink water or eat, and then just peels off which is reall gross and embarising when Im with other people, Ive tried almost all of the Blistex stuff and nothing has worked, some Orange kind of Lip balm since Vitamin C is supposed to be good for you skin/lips, but still nothing works. I'm currently using Burt's Bees Honey Lip Balm but I doubt that its gonna help at all. I just want to fix this because its just annoying that I have to never get my upper lip wet just so that it will look normal and if I ever have to kiss a girl ittl just be weird with the skin peeling off. please any aweser/ suggestion will do.

1. i'm also having this kind of problem with my lips although not at the same degree as you have shared. this started to happen when i moved here in the US from a tropical country. i think its the cold dry weather here that contributes mostly to this condition. i use a medicated chapstick to help control the chapping but it doesnt go away completely. i suggest you see your dermatologist to assess your condition and give you some prescription or treatment.
2. Maybe you need some medicated lip balm since nothing else is working. Also peeling off the skin makes it worse sometimes, just apply prescribed medical lip balm and don't peel the skin because it will become healthy with medical lip balm
3. Personally, I buy a bottle of vitamin E supplements and take one of the gel-like pills and break it open and put the vitamin E oil directly on my lips. It heals chapped lips and keeps them moist. It also heals your skin when directly applied. Good Luck and no more picking at your lip! :)
