Dr Karla Recommends Flexitol Lip Balm for Cheilitis (Chapped Lips)

Dr. Karla Higginbotham is a board-certified Family Physician with over 10 years of experience, dedicated to providing practical solutions for everyday health concerns. Known for her approachable and compassionate style, Dr. Karla is passionate about educating patients on effective treatments for common issues like cheilitis—dry, painful, and inflamed lips. In this article, she shares her expert insights and explains why she recommends Flexitol Lip Balm as a powerful solution for managing cheilitis and severely chapped lips.

“Have you ever experienced dry, painful, cracked, and inflamed lips? This condition is called cheilitis, and it’s surprisingly common.

Cheilitis is super common and can be caused by a variety of factors, including conditions like irritable bowel syndrome, a history of gastric bypass, vitamin deficiencies, iron deficiencies, eczema, frequent lip licking, or even certain lip products.

Dry, cracked lips can be difficult to treat if you’re not using the right products. Lately, I’ve been reaching for Flexitol’s Lip Balm. Not only does it contain moisturizers, but it also includes urea. Urea has long been used in dermatologic products for its ability to exfoliate the skin, help other products penetrate deeper, and provide hydration. As a humectant, urea helps the skin attract and retain moisture, making it an excellent solution for dry and chapped lips. (Learn more about urea in skincare – in our ultimate guide).

In other words, this little tube packs a punch and is my go-to recommendation for treating cheilitis and severely chapped lips. Try it out and let me know how it works for you!”
