My Un-Healable Lip!

[Dante3214]

Grr... this is bothering me!

It is not always that my lip is dry, but it seems that it always shreds or tears apart and it never seems to fully heal up.

I use some medicated blistex stuff, and I occasionally dunk my lip in water (seriously) to keep it from getting dry.

When the skin grows back it turns pink again, but it never fully comes back before it gets ripped off again (either by picking at it because its cracking, drying, or when it gets gooey and you're forced to pull it off...). Anything I can do to help my lip out? or should I just stop messing with it altogether and just wait a week and see if it works out...?

you might have a vitamin b deficiency and you should take a multi vitamin b stress tablet every day. in two weeks time you will see a difference if that is the problem.

my sons does this and it gets bad in the corners. it gets raw then it scabs up etc. when he takes his vitamins it gets well again.

It could be sun damage. Do you go outside a lot without lip balm? It could also be from dehydration.

i have the same problem, moisturising doesn't seem to work.
i'll look into vitamin B

Go to a quack's, you bum.

Anyway, I'll try the vitamin B thing.




Thank you for the help!
