Why do chapped lips feel burnt when we lick it ?

Chapped or cracked lips is the term used to describe dry lips .



What causes chapped lips ?

Lips don't contain oil glands like other parts of skin .  This means lips are more susceptible to drying out and become cracked . Lack of moisture can make the problem worse . Little humidity in the months of winter season is known to cause chapped lips .


Saliva from the tongue can further strip the lips of moisture . This causes more dryness . That's why licking the already dried lips feels burnt .


To get rid of this , we can apply lip balm .
