I've been dealing with exfoliative cheilitis for around 6 years now, ever since I started taking some antibiotics, and it's been really tough. My lips get all flaky and dry, and the skin turns white when it hits water. There's even this white vermilion line forming where my lips touch. I'm really curious if there's any kind of treatment that can help with this. Any advice would be great!

I'm really worried about my dark lips. It started with just the upper lip being darker before my pregnancy, but after giving birth, both my lips have gotten really dark. I've tried all sorts of home remedies and lip balms, but nothing is working. It's stressing me out so much. Can you recommend a cream or lotion that could help with this quickly?
