My lips are dry?

Hi all. I have really dry,sore, tingly lips. I put on lipbalm and after 10mins my lips are dry, sore and really tingly. I am allergic to vasalem so am using an alternative intended for dry lips. Does anyone know why my lips are so dry? I don't work outside and have never had this happen before. Im putting on so much lipbalm, which only helps for a few minutes before they are dry and crack when I wake in the morning as they have been dry all night! Anyone got ideas on what I can do, and why this is happening? Thanks

Update:

Lips on my mouth!

Like I would use lipbalm 'down there'

Update 2:

Im in the west of England in Bristol so not too hot atm.

    Don't know where you live...but if its gotten really dry, your lips will show the signs of dehydration first.

    COLINS MOM is right. Drink a lot more water and maybe invest in a humidifier.

    I know its been real bad dry where I live and my lips crack when I don't balm them enough.

    Try olive oil if you are alergic to the patrolium based balms.
