@maroush

Are you anaemic?? the reason i ask is because if you have a sore in the corner of your mouth, usually in both sides, you may have Angular Chelitis. This condition is not fatal, nor is it contagious, however the lesions in the corner of the mouth can be very uncomfortable. The lips split and ulcerate,… does it feel like paper cuts at the corners of the mouth and they’re crusty and have a whitish hue? This can be linked to a vitamin and mineral deficiency. Particularly a deficiency in iron, hence why i asked about anaemia…

Can I PM u?

@fayax

Drink lots-o-water. Hydrate your body. Then go back to normal/sufficient water intake.

Good suggestion, and beneficial for pretty much everything. thanks for the reminder..

@CorruptAngel

You can try Eucerin’s Aquaphor Healing Ointment available at Ulta/Walgreens…it helps with dryness and flakyness of skin. It’s much better than vaseline!

Its safe to use on lips?

@lifeless

use neosporin…lip treatment
multivitamin (with zinc and iron)

and what in those products are you allergic to?

I dont know man. I believe the major cause may have been the peppermint lipbalm i got from bath and bodyworks..that’s 2+ years old. As well as the liplnier from pakistan…also old.

@RupayHalwa

Hey, that happened to my lips when I was in Pakistan and no amount of lip cream would fix it. So went to the Dr when I got back, and straight away he said its due to iron deficiency, probably bcos I didn’t consume red meat while there. A few iron pills later, and it was fixed. A miracle!

I think i suffer from too much red meat than lack of it. :S

@redvelvet

Olive oil…can do wonders. And research is showing that it can help provide sun protection.

Gently massage olive oil on your lips.

Avoid licking and biting your lips. Your own saliva can irritate your lips.

There are other chapstick brands. Have you tried** Burt’s Bees Beeswax lip** balm. It comes in balm form as well as chapstick form. And it contains peppermint which provides an instant cooling sensation to stinging/chapped lips. Similar to toothpaste but it moisturizes as well.

You can try Body Shop’s vitamin C chapstick. It tastes like orange flavored candy. Contains vitamin C and sunblock.

When going out in the sun, apply chapstick that contains sunscreen.

Chapstick the brand or any chapstick? I may just try your other suggestions..when it gets beter. believe me it looks okay but feels really bad, and hurts
