chapped lips
Dry, cracked mouth
Chapped lips are lips that have become dry, cracked, and painful, typically from cold weather, wind, or dehydration.
The condition makes the delicate skin of the lips rough and sometimes bleeding: My chapped lips are killing me—do you have any lip balm?
The phrase functions as a single unit; you wouldn't say someone's lips are "chapped" without implying this specific condition.
