I've been dealing with exfoliative cheilitis and my lips are really damaged - even had surgery but it didn't fully help. What kind of cream would you recommend for healing the skin?

For exfoliative cheilitis, consider using tacrolimus ointment, petroleum jelly, or lanolin-based creams. Avoid lip licking and maintain hydration.
