Chapped lips due to dehydration, anyone?

[Beachy_Babs 5]

For the few days, my lips have been swollen, chapped, and burning! I have never had this experience before and my husband thinks it's because I am beyond dehydrated. I try to drink as much Water as I can. I saw my family doctor yesterday and she couldn't tell me what was wrong either.... has anyone experienced super chapped/burning sensation to your lips?? Help

YES! I'm experiencing that now... I thought it was an allergic reaction to something...cuz they itch like crazy too...and no amount of vaseline is helping. I cannot use carmex or blistex.... My skin is too sensitive for anything like that. Just pure vaseline. bah!

Just my upper lip and the edges of my nose are chapping. I don't think it's dehydration because I'm getting in 64 to 72 to 96 oz of Water a day, then there's the other stuff I also drink.

No change in my diet or medications.

I'm using burt's bee's lip balm and it's helping a bit. Have no idea what else to do. Seeing the doc for hopefully a small fill this coming week.. will see if they have any advice/suggestions.
