Several factors can contribute to chapped lips in children:
Environmental factors: Cold weather, wind, and low humidity can strip moisture from the lips. Dehydration: Inadequate fluid intake can lead to dry lips. Lip licking: Children often lick their lips when they feel dry, which can exacerbate the problem. Allergic reactions: Certain foods, lip balms, or toothpaste can cause irritation. Medical conditions: Conditions like eczema, cheilitis, or vitamin deficiencies can also cause chapped lips.
