Chapped Lips

My big guy has a little problem with what my vet calls "chapped lips". More specifically a recurrent irritation (and at worst a minor infection) underneath where his lower lips fold over. I treat it daily with a prescription antibiotic ointment, but if it goes without attention for about three days it gets red, a little crusty and sensitive. A point to consider is that Boardman has a dry mouth, so I wonder if lack of lubrication may play into it. Anybody have any ideas on other treatment?
