If there is peeling, do not use your hands or pliers to tear the raised skin, as this can easily cause pain and bleeding. In addition, it is best not to lick your lips.

Secondly, fresh fruits and vegetables can supplement vitamins, especially vitamin B, which is extremely useful for treating chapped lips, because some chapped lips are caused by a lack of vitamins in the body. Therefore, eating more fresh fruits and vegetables is the best way to treat chapped lips during pregnancy.
