GAH. I've had extremely chapped lips for a number of winters now, but I guess it just gets worse. Lately, the corners of my mouth get cracked. They were extremely bad for awhile, but by obsessively slathering them with chapstick, I got them to go away. Now they're back, and I don't even know why, because I have continued the slathering, with the same chapstick as before, even. Fucking.... world. Don't I have enough shit to deal with already?

Chap-stick doesn't contain any medication or healing properties, that I know of. It is just a bit of insulation, as it were. A barrier against the air, keeps moisture in.
You *might* have better luck with this product, Carlson E Gems Lip Care. Looks like a Chapstick. Contains vitamin E and vitamin A which have some healing properties.

No guarantees. This advice is worth what you paid for it. However, I have used this for years and I would not use anything else. My lips split open and bleed if I don't.
