I've had a crack in my lip for about 3 weeks now.
I've tried Burt's Bees balm. I've tried Blistex. I've tried Carmex.
It just won't go away!
And it hurts!

Be diligent about keeping your lip treated. Also, get some moisture in your home - a pot of water simmering on the stove helps a lot.

when I lived in Chicago and Boston, and this worked for me. Now that I am in Tennessee, I almost never have a problem.
