hi there, I was just
wondering if anyone had any suggestions
for me. My problem is a cut right in the
very centre of my bottom lip. As much as
vasaline and chapsticks help with with the
soreness, the cut just won't heal because
by talking and eating with the cut right
in the middle it just splits open
everytime it starts to heal over. Is
there any kind of paste substance to use?
I really don't want to have to get
stitches on my lip!
Thanks
in a chap stick there are chemicals that
can infect your lips when you have bits of
open skin(chapped lips). So put some
honey on your lips then without moving our
lips as this is important put some
vaseline on top. Do this for about 2-5
days in a row to get rid of chapped lips.
Only leave on for 10-15 minutes then with
a q-tip dip it hot water and in two stokes
take off the mixture.
Hope this helps as my friend recommended
it!!

I Have the Same Problem Too! Posted: 02-16-07 12:30pm
Hello I am new, I have the sameproblem
too. Last year around may my lips did
this. I could actually grab on end of
the scab on my lips and peel it off (like
you do a stamp). Then it would bleed and
scab up in like 1 hr. I had to peel it
off b/c I am black and when I get a sore
or scar it is darker than my skin. So,
that would look gross for me to keep it
there and not peel it. Anyway I tried
mark kay satinlips,as well as other
exfoiliants. They did not work. Well
about 1 month later they got netter.
Then "it" came back. By this time I was
seeing a dermetoligist for moderate acne.
Even b 4 I saw him it came back so I can
not really say it came from my acne meds
(minocycline and differin) I am off now.
By the way differin was not working for
me. Anyways it went away by the time I
went back to him and I ran it past him and
he said,'are you sure you didn't get any
on your pillow"? Well it went away and
now it's back (not as bad as the first but
the sores are bleeding and I look like I
am on drugs or something. I saw where
some one mentioned infection. Infection?
Ok now I am scared!! I tell you why.
I leave my water bottle around at my other
job and I wonder if someone drank from my
bottle. Yuck!!!!!!!!!!!! So is it
possible that is what happened? I hope
not. That would upset me. I am kind of
scared. I hope I do not have a disease .
Thank you all for listening. You have
very helpful information and are very well
educated. In fact, you have more
information than what my dermetologist
have provided. Should I switch? One
more question and I will leave you all
alone. I would need to go to the derme
while my lips are like they are right, so
they may take a culture of the sore?
Those ofyou using accutane does it work
well, and does it really damage your liver
or give medical problems?
Again, thank you all for listening,
cr

Have you been dieting? Ketosis can cause
lips to chap! Any way my guess is it's
poor quality food intake, are your heals
chapped as well? Either way fresh fruit
and veg plenty of grains and oily fish
mackerel salmon etc. With luv .
Hi, I have the same irritating problem.
I've also tried every trick in the book to
cure it, but nothing seems to help. After
some trial and error, I find that gently
brushing your lips with a toothbrush to
remove the dead skin helps quite a bit.
After removing the dead skin, apply a
moisturizer such as vitamin E or aloe. You
also may want to try using a lip balm
specifically for "winter weather" to
prevent any further cracking. Good luck!

RE: DEEP BOTTOM LIP CUT Posted: 03-28-08 06:43am
Hi: I just wanted to reply to "dozza64".
I feel for you because those cracks are
beggars to heal. BUT there is a product
called "Bag Balm". I know the name sounds
awful and if you read the directions on
the square green tin that it comes in, it
says to be applied to cows teats and area.
LOL.
Oh well! It works extremely well on
irritated, chafed skin anywhere on one's
body. It has healed deep cuts in fingers
overnight, as well. I can't remember the
maker of this stuff but if you Google in
"Bag Balm", it's bound to turn up. It has
the consistency of Vaseline only even
thicker. But, I'm gonna tell you again:
"IT WORKS WONDERS!!!". I know quite a few
people that have used it and had way
better than expected results and that's
only overnight!!!
