lip
I have been having seriously burning and itchy lips for the past 3 weeks. I went to the pharmacy. The pharmacist said it was cold sores, and recommend me the Zovirax cream. I used it for a few days and the the painful feeling was somewhat suppressed. However, after stopping using the cream, my lips were cracked and dry and tingling. I tried different lip balms, such as Carmex and Burt's Bee, to heal them, but then the burning and itchiness came back!

I am now worried of HIV risk ....I read in the internet that a nipple piercing takes plenty of months to heal.....also my lips are often cracked due to cold weather....could this be a way for HIV transmission assuming she is HIV+ ? I am now very anxious as I am experiencing body pain and chills during night after 2 weeks of this incident....
I want to know where this is coming from, because I have been testing for HIV lately and have finally accepted my negative status but this rash freaks me out a bit. Also, i have like a fat cut/ulcer in the middle of lip because my lips are so dry and it cracked and bled and now its covered over kinda looks like a small ulcer is that normal??
Hi, I'm 15weeks and my lips are always cracked and dry when I wake up I've tried Shea Butter its not working. Does anyone have a solution to this issue?
Drink lots of water to help hydrate yourself
Try drinking lots of water! You're probably dehydrated but don't know it. It worked for me. I was having really bad chapped lips and they were even cracking. Then I started drinking lots of water and my lips got so much better!!
Lips dry due to needing more hydration. Olive oil works for adults. Would that be safe for a baby? Never looked it up...
Just wanted to say thank you for answering me back. I appreciate your help. My rash is getting better, I have been washing it with water and a mild soap, and I did end up going to Med Express here. The doctor gave me some oral antibiotics for the rash.
So hopefully this rash keeps clearing up.

Make an appointment to see your doctor again so that he can take a swab of the corners of your lips and from inside your mouth to find out if there is a fungal issue and also ask your doctor to run some blood tests with regard to ruling out any medical conditions.
Is it possible to have constant herpes outbreak in the vaginal area? I don't have any sores. I reduced washing the area often and the discharge I had months ago went away. I also noticed when I had my periods it seemed to relieve the itching and discharge and now the discharge is gone but I still have some itching but its so mild, just that its a bit constant and I need to know what's going on. The nurse examined me when I first had the complaints and she said there were no sores.
supposed just before we kissed(it was in the dark)she just bite her own lips for blood to come from her lips as she saw that my lips were badly cracked!so she might just bite her lips..and it was in the dark...she bites on her own lips and me as a fool i kissed her!may be she wanted me to get hiv something and she knew i had broken lips(i always have broken lips)so she just bite her own lips to remove some blood and she kissed me!im really stressed over this thing!
Over a year ago, I had some cracked corners and strange bumps on my lips. I had braces at the time, but a doctor I worked with had suggested it could be a cold sore. It honestly freaked me out that she said this. I was tested once in February 2017 ( initial “symptoms” began in September/October 2016) and once in September 2017 both Elisa igg/igm and they both were negative at <0.9. Since then I’ve been trying to let it go.
Several days after the extraction I did develop a partial dry socket that has since felt much better and the open hole is shrinking now. As the gums around the tooth socket continue to shrink/heal I have developed a very sore spot on the lip side of my gums 4mm below the edge of the socket. Upon feeling & looking at it it appears that the top part of the tooth socket cracked and there is now a rough edge along this fracture with a sharp edge below the gums.
He currently does not have any visible sore on his mouth, but he has very dry /cracked lips (may bleed). If he kisses me (with his dry /cracked lips), how likely will he pass the virus to me?
Also, if he licked and kissed other parts of my body like neck and nipples, will it have chance of catching HSV1?
Or a bad case of Chapped lips , a condition whereby the lips become dry and possibly cracked. It may be caused by the evaporation of moisture.
Lip balm can often provide temporary relief, though it should not be used extensively. One should avoid licking their lips as saliva contains the enzyme amylase, which can damage the already compromised lip tissue.
Honey can be used on the lips as a natural remedy.
Hi,
This could be a part of Cheilitis, which is a medical condition involving inflammation of the lip. Or a bad case of Chapped lips , a condition whereby the lips become dry and possibly cracked. It may be caused by the evaporation of moisture.

She then came back to me and gave me a peck on the lips, however, then I noticed that my lip was cracked and there was a little blood there because my lips were dry. I'm not sure if my lips were cracked and bleeding when her nose bled? I'm really worried because all we did was kiss and this happened. I don't know her hiv status but my friends believe that she is fine. I asked her to get tested because I just recently got tested so I know I'm clean.
