At my age, the cracks have started forming from nose to lip. About the start of summer I started feeling swolen lips, usually what hapoens on the severe rare occassion when I have gotten a cold sore or 2. Stress related. So this latest thing is at the end of one of thr lip cracks a dry patch of skin appeared. Its one of those things you pick at. Ive pulled it a couple times but it comes right back even in the same day! I have used medicated lip balms, drink lots of water, no VC and its in one spot on the upper lip yet both lips when this began were very swollen and dry esp in the morning. I haven't tried any of the scrubs yet but am going to start tonight. Is this just age and what happens or is there aomething else I need to be aware of? Thanks for any help.
