Asymmetrical and weird shaped - is there anything that can be done to improve the appearance of my lips? (Photo)

h8myface98
I have had a chronic issue of having very dry and peeling lips since I was a kid. I am 26 now and I honestly don’t remember a time in my life where my lips weren’t chapped and peeling. I have also been obsessively biting and picking the skin off my lips for all these years. Nothing I have tried has ever helped this condition. On top of my lips being chronically very chapped, they also just have a very weird appearance. My vermillion border is very jagged and not well-defined and my lips are just very asymmetrical and weird-shaped. I have noticed more recently that I have even more loss of pigmentation and scarring around the vermillion border of my lips. I have the weirdest shaped lips I have ever seen on anyone. Is there anything that can be done to improve the appearance of my lips? I’m just at a loss I don’t know why I look like this and it causes me a lot of distress.
