I've been using Nivea lip balms and Ponds cold cream for my chapped lips, but they only seem to help for a short while. Every two or three days, my lips go back to being chapped, and sometimes even bleed. The skin just keeps peeling. Do you have any suggestions for home remedies or medications that could help with this? I'm really looking for something more effective.

I'm a bit worried because yesterday I noticed a bump or something like a pimple on my left nipple, and it was painful. Today, though, the pain's gone, but now there's some itching around it. Plus, I've noticed my left nipple is actually bigger than my right one. Should I be concerned about this?
no
