I would try to stick with single ingredient cures. So many creams and such will have many ingredients and if one bothers you, you won't know what is bother you. I would start with plain castor oil.
You might also consider using just baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) to clean your teeth. Many toothpastes contain ingredients that will irritate the mouth.
An internal supplement of Borage Oil or Evening Primrose Oil may help. Also, taking Extra Virgin Coconut Oil internally may help. I would not use it on the lips, though as for some, it can actually be drying.
At my house, "when in doubt, try turmeric." It has helped an amazingly wide variety of conditions because of its blood purifying and anti-inflammatory effects. You could try adding it to food or taking a supplement of it.
Also, look in to oil pulling on Earth Clinic.

-If that didnt work-I'd use bag balm.I have seen bag balm work on rashes, dry areas, etc. where nothing else worked. You can get it at any farm supply.(green square can with red roses&a cow on it) :)
-I've used it on my son when he was 3 in Colo.where sub temps. and he had bad rash on his little face cheeks.I tried vaseline, even diaper rash medicine-nothing worked. Then his grandpa said try bag balm...sounded ridiculous-but I did and then rash was gone the end of that day!
-I also have used bag balm on my old dog when he had heat rash under back legs. It soothed it instantly and redness went away with one application.
