This is the second Winter in a row that my 3 year old son starts to lick his top and bottom lip and now also around the sides so much that he has a red rim going all the way around his mouth from his nose to his chin!! It looks terrible!! I have tried talking to him about stopping it but it is not working. I have used every type of cream and lip care known and all it does is take the redness away slightly until he starts licking it again and then it flares up all red again. Does anyone have any advice as I remember last Winter it lasted ALL Winter and I dont think I can look at his face like this for the rest of Winter!!
