Dry Lips and Mouth

Asked for Female, 32 years

After my diagnosis with APL, one of the most aggravating side effects has been the dryness of everything - but especially my lips and mouth. I tried all kinds of chapsticks and lip balms for my dry lips and for the painful cracks in the corners of my mouth, however, nothing worked. I am a female and it is making me uncomfortable greatly. Please help me
