<s>[INST] About 7 days ago, I noticed my lips and slightly above my lips were cracked and chapped, reddish and hurt when I moved them.As the week progressed, they began to stop hurting so much, but instead became a dark brownish line above my lips that makes them look swollen.Please help me, as it is spring break, I have only a week for it to heal, people pointed out that it looked like herpes when it first appeared, now it looks more like a mustache and I don't want them to think such things, I know it isn't herpes as I have never had a sexual encounter.Why are my lips like this?How can I fix this? [/INST] Hi,Thanks for posting the query,        Apply a sunchroma lip balm externally over the lips.Avoid sun exposure.Drink plenty of fliuds which are rich in vitamin C like lemons, oranges.If the symptoms persists or worsen get the checkup done.Take care! </s>
