Avatar f tn Lips dry due to needing more hydration. Olive oil works for adults. Would that be safe for a baby? Never looked it up...
Avatar n tn 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.

Avatar f tn 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!

Avatar f tn Dehydration is the commonest cause of dry cracked lips but you appear to be taking enough fluids. The other possibility is iron and Vit B deficiency. Along with multivitamin B (not a multivitamin which also has other vitamins) take an iron preparation and see. They can also be caused by allergies and infections. You could either be suffering from contact dermatitis or from allergy to some food. You should get an allergy test done, either a skin test or RAST, to know what you are allergic to.
1475230 tn?1287080511 I have the same issue! First of all, make sure you are getting your daily vitamins. Then, since you are a guy I'm sure you wouldn't want to try my favorite chapstick... True shimmer by chapstick. lol. So, get some sugar and veggie oil to make a greasy lip scrub. After you get out of the shower, since this is the time when your skin has the most moisture absorbed, and lightly buff your lips with the sugary mess.
Avatar m tn 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?
Avatar f tn This is for my mother. She has such severe dry deep cracked feet, that they swell to a degree she is often in a wheel chair for extended periods of time. The pain is unbearable for her. SHe has seen several dermatologists and an immunologist. Has been tested for Lupus and other auto immune disorders all were negative. The dr's give her creams that don't help for more than a few days then they flair up again worse than time before.

1641803 tn?1300758291 t know what the blister is from but you need to start drinking a lot more water. dry cracked lips need lots of water to heal. The blister may be a cold soar and go to any drugstore for a medicated lip balm.
1652596 tn?1342011626 Every time I get cracked lips, and it is often, I think I am getting dehydrated. There are a lot of days in the winter that I just don't feel like drinking water and I think it takes a toll on skin and lips. I use Bert's Bees too and it helps some but I mainly have to refocus on the water.

Avatar n tn s vagina but she stopped me. Although she stopped me, some vaginal fluid got on my lips. I have dry , cracked lips. If this female has HIV, what are my chances of catching the virus via vaginal fluid going on my dry and cracked lips. I used a condom during intercourse.

Avatar f tn My lips are Soooo dry this pregnancy. I do a lip scrub equal parts sugar and coconut oil (or olive oil) and scrub for 6 minutes Or so gently. Then I put a little more oil/ a thin layer on as chap stick after I wash off the scrub then I use Burt's bees chap stick throughout the day. It's helped Soooo much. I do it once a week or every 3 days depending how dry/cracked/peeling they are.
1273473 tn?1270775840 I have had the mouth sores, very dry skin, and dry eyes. I told my friend about the mouth sores. She had a severe brain injury many years ago and told me that during recovery she would get sores from thrush which I never had before, but heard the sores were like that. She told me the dr had her gargle with water and white vinegar (just a little). The idea was to change the ph of the mouth.
Avatar n tn My daughter is on accutane and has extremly dry, cracked and bloody hands and lips, and her face is very dry. We have tried many different ointments and other lotions, nothing is working. What do you think we should use?
Avatar f tn For the past two weeks, I have suffered from very dry lips. The outside of my lips have been very crusty and burn whenever I don't have chapstick on. The sides of my mouth keep cracking no matter what I put on them. I have tried Chapstick brand, I have tried Aquaphor brand and Bliztex Medicated ointment on my lips with no results. The outside of my bottom lips has raised bumps and I am constantly rubbing yellow crust off of them. Can someone please suggest something. My Dr.
