    is that the paw paw ointment you get in the red tube at the chemist?
    Watch that one... although it isn't labelled as so, it is a petroleum based product. There are other paw paw ointments out there that are much better. Try googling paw paw petroleum to find some others (Simmons or Nutraceuticals). I found Nutraceuticals in my local pharmacy, and it is lovely !

    I second the water thing too. Your lips can become addicted to the lip treatment and the only real solution is increasing your water intake so that you are no longer dehydrated.

    Moogoo lip balm.

    And lots of water! Since drinking lots of water my lips are perfectly kissable and non-cracked with huge chunks of dry skin.

    Nivea lip balm, aqua blue one - for damaged lips works a treat for me.

    paw pas tube or blistex works for me. It does take a few days. At night I would put heaps on and all around the outside edge of the lip as well. Let it have a good soaking over night so to speak!

    Also try and drink as much water as you can so you can be rehydrating from the inside as well
