Do you think it's possible that all of the factors you mentioned could be involved? I know that my sinus allergies are driving me nuts and the skin on my lips is still peeling like mad. I have chemical sensitivities, so I don't add hair fixatives to my hair and scalp. I typically add olive oil, coconut oil or jojoba oil after I wash my hair in the shower. I've been taking extra B vitamins, too. This is really driving me mad, because it's making me miserable.

Hello,
Dryness of scalp can be due to hormonal imbalance, poor health, poor hygiene, allergic hypersensitivity, lack of rest, emotional stress, excessive consumption of sugar, fat or starch, heredity predisposition and medical causes like eczema, atopic dermatitis or seborrheic dermatitis.
External causes include excessive use of hair sprays and gels, improper use of hair-coloring products, cold weather and dry indoor heating, infrequent shampooing of the hair or inadequate rinsing of the scalp and hair. Regarding the chapped lips, it can be due to vitamin B deficiency. Take some vitamin B complex esp. Vit B2 and B 12 for some days and see if your symptoms improve.
Secondly, it can be due to atopic dermatitis or eczema. Diagnosed by blood test like RAST. Treatment is by topical steroids or oral therapy of corticosteroids in severe cases. Topical creams like tacrolimus ointment and pimecrolimus are also useful. My sincere advice would be to consult a dermatologist and discuss these causes with him.
I hope it helps. Take care and please do keep me posted in case you have any additional doubts. Kind regards.
