I too have eczema and have this problem- at the moment in fact! Doctor prescribed some hydrocortisone cream. See your doctor.

If there is nothing else going on, just dry cracked skin round the lips you could try blistex. Can be bought in boots and other chemists. I use it when my lips get cracked and sore at this time of year.

Agree with the others - my brother had this during a stressful time at work - Vitamin B worked wonders (can't remember which B though.....)

I find Elizabeth Arden 8 Hour cream great for dry and cracked lips. I don't know if it would cause the ezema to flare up though.

TJ Hughes often have it quite cheap by the way.

sounds similar to a condition called angular collitis which is bought about by either fungal infection or bacteria infections (There are 2 types). Your more likely to get it in cold weather.

The fungal type is treated using antifungal cream and is common in people with dentures and people with oral thrush.

The second type is common with people who dribble more on thier lips- which we do when we wear scarfs or masks over our mouths. Probably try Adcortyl in orabase for that one.

See your dentist/doctor who will be able to make a diagnosis and prescribe you some cream.
PS it tend to be a reoccuring problem.

Neem 40 genie stick should do an amazing job of healing the cracks and is kind to eczema!
If it doesn't work you're entitled to your money back on neemgenies products....
