Follow-Up:
I can't believe so many of you have the same symptoms--most of us are women. My case seems to go in cycles and I relate it to my menstrual cycle because I can't think of anything else! All I know is that two weeks before my period my lips begin to burn and I get a slight "clown" look around my mouth. Then it subsides a bit and I am left with very dry cracked lips. By the end of my period there is some relief which lasts until the next two weeks before my period. I feel like my lips are starting to shrivel up. My theory may sound crazy but no doctors have been able to help me. I think it has something to do with my ph level during my cycle. Or, could this be hormonal? What do you think?
