pink_chocolate Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 I'm not even sure what it's called.I've had this thing, on the corner of my lips, right on the very corner where my upper and lower lips are jointed... At first I thought it might be a cold sore or something, but it feels like a cut on it. Every time it dries up and I tried to open my mouth to eat something, it accidentally tears (open up again). I hate it because it hurts like hell and I can't hardly eat anything. I don't know how to cure it! Help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest kitty_N Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 I use to get that a lot during the dry winters on my lips and my finger. I do have eczema though and it runs in my family so that might be it, though there could be other reasons. the cracks are super painful though. I always kept the cracks moisturized, i used aquaphor cream a lot. But I suggest you get it checked out by a professional. They might have something more efficient.

Guest PinkWaffles Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 Keep them hydrated/lubricated with Vaseline and drink plenty of water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crystaal.bb Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 in winter, you have to keep your skin moisturize because of the dry weather. i had them before and the pharmacist recommended me to use carmex lip and once i started using it, the cuts went away i heard vaseline works, but it didnt work for me i also heard that burt's bee lip balm is good too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest -littlemochi Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 i actually have that right now hahaha, but i know it's annoying. drink a lot of water and put vaseline on as you go to bed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest nobody knows Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 I had that too I'd put like excessive amounts of vaseline on it and it didn't help at all I was recommended a lip balm by the brand of blistex (it's medicated, so it's not like vaseline that just traps moisture in and your lips get worse when you don't use it for a day) omg it's like magic~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~ BunnyliciouS ~ Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 Since it's similar to an open wound, I'd try neosporin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest str4wberri3s Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 Drink lots of water to keep yourself hydrated and use lip balm/Vaseline to lock in the moisture. And try not to lick your lips cause it'll dry it out more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest dreamy21 Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 Carmex saves. Try it It has a cult following Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bubbletealove Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 I love Blistex. <3 Haha~ I'm not sure, but maybe it's the lack of vitamins you take. I don't remember which vitamin it is, but eat some healthy foods ^^ And avoid licking your lips or at that specific spot, your saliva causes it to dry out faster.

Guest xDollars Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 D: I've had that a couple times too. Vaseline didn't work for me, so I used Carmex. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pink_chocolate Posted November 9, 2011 Author Share Posted November 9, 2011 it means your eatiing too much fry stuff drink more water and drink some those tea that help with soresthat can be a cut when you eat too much junk food yeah... I think that might have been the problem.. I been stress out and ate a lot of junk food, fried food. My lord... that might be the cause! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katt. Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 My Dad has excema so sometimes his skin will crack and even bleed. Recently, due to the colder woeather, his thumb starting cracking. So, I suggested Cicoplast by LaRoche which I use for a dry patch on my scalp. http://www.laroche-posay.com/products-treatments/Cicaplast/Irritated-skin-r42.aspx It's expensive but he put it on at night and the next morning the crack was 50% better.

Guest FireDragon Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 I get this every time it's cold.. like late fall/winter, and currently have it on both corners of my mouth. Last winter, I put Natio lip balm (the best!!) on it everyday and it healed in no time. But since a soompier said medicated Blistex works and I'm out of Natio I'll try that!

Guest -CamTu Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 Chapped lips? The best thing to do is use a really good lip balm, and drink plenty of water. I usually use an eczema ointment on it cause' lip balms are too weak for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
