Okay, so my lips have been abnormally dry. The like inside of them like not yet my mouth but the end of my lip is all raw. They hurt really bad so i've been putting on chapstick like 24/7. I have to put a lot on for the burning to stop. Now there are like lots of tiny bumps on my lips and i don't know if somethings wrong. Does anyone know? By the way the chapstick i use has never done this before and i use it all the time. I resently got a new one so i don't htink that its old.
THanks a ton!

It is normal to have tiny bumps (same color as lips)- these are sebaceous (oil) glands. You might have a cluster of cold sores- some people get them after having very chapped lips. It is impossible for anyone to tell you what you have, if anything at all. No matter what, the excessively dry lips has something to do with the bumps. It more than likely has nothing to do with your chapstick.
You should probably have a parent take you to the doctor. It's probably nothing to be worried about, but again, no one on this site can diagnose anything. If anything is wrong, you might be told to use some sort of ointment or cream to get rid of the bumps. [ ciao77's advice column | Ask ciao77 A Question ]

It's impossible for us to diagnose you here so I'd definitely advise visiting your doctor, who will be able to tell you what the problem is and prescribe you any special treatment you may need.
