    I read here recently that being low in Vitamin B will cause dry lips that crack in the corners.
    Did you read it about a dozen posts up when I said it? :D;)

    Whoops, apparently I missed that one! :s

    I just want to address this as its not always vitamin B. I had a persistant crack in the corner of my lip for months, thought it was the lack of Vitamin B, went to the Dr, nope was a bacterial infection. within 3 days of using the prescribed ointment the crack was healing. I of course continued the full treatment. So its not always a vitamin thing, it can be something else.

    Huh, I was using a Chapstick 10+ times a day for the longest time. Started a Vitamin B supplement recently for a completely different reason, and only reading this made me realise I don't even know where my Chapstick is...
