I'm really worried about dealing with scabies mites. I'm wondering if leaving clothes and bedding out in the sunlight for a day is a reliable way to kill them. Would that be enough?

I've been having this issue where my upper lip is always super dry, no matter what I do. It's like there's this dry, white layer, and I've tried every kind of balm or moisturizer you can think of, even home remedies, but nothing seems to work. I find myself having to apply borolene or some kind of balm every hour. What could be causing this, and what should I do?
Excessive dryness on the upper lip can be challenging to manage. Given that you've tried various balms, moisturizers, and home remedies without relief, let's explore other possible causes and solutions: Possible Causes 1. Dry air: Low humidity can dry out the skin. 2. Over-exfoliation: Using harsh products or exfoliating too frequently can strip the skin of its natural oils. 3. Allergies or sensitivities: Certain ingredients in products or environmental factors might be causing irritation. 4. Nutritional deficiencies: Lack of essential fatty acids, vitamins, or minerals can affect skin health. 5. Underlying medical conditions: Certain conditions, such as eczema, psoriasis, or autoimmune disorders, can cause dry skin. Additional Solutions 1. Lip scrubs: Try using a gentle lip scrub containing natural ingredients like sugar, honey, or coconut oil to remove dead skin cells. 2. Humidifiers: Use a humidifier to add moisture to the air, which can help alleviate dryness. 3. Protective lip balms: Look for lip balms containing natural ingredients like beeswax, coconut oil, or shea butter, which can provide a protective barrier. 4. Topical creams or ointments: Consider using topical creams or ointments containing ingredients like hyaluronic acid, ceramides, or niacinamide, which can help lock in moisture.To reduce the frequency of applying borolene or balm, try the following: 1. Apply a thick layer: Apply a thick layer of borolene or balm to the affected area and let it absorb fully. 2. Use a lip lock: Apply a lip lock or a lip sealant over the borolene or balm to help retain moisture. 3. Reapply as needed: Reapply borolene or balm as needed, rather than on a fixed schedul
