Cracked lips will not heal

Common Questions and Answers about Cracked lips will not heal

lip

Avatar n tn 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. 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.

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 I have also been having a dry cracked and charred lips that I am easily picking off. This once caused a sore on my lip. It healed after I applied a cream. The present charred lips has refused to heal even after I started applying a cream on Saturday Please could this be HIV.
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 Yes, but the post you were replying to isn't about dry skin. It's about someone who burnt their lips by using exfoliant, and like all burns, unless it is so severe it can't heal it will heal. Your reference to lip balm has nothing to do with a burn.
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.
Avatar f tn 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?
Avatar m tn 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....
Avatar m tn 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. Cheilitis is associated with many conditions from Vitamin B12 deficiency, iron deficiency anemia, be a symptom of allergies.can also be caused by taking the (retinoid) drug Isotretinoin (brand name Roaccutane).
Avatar f tn Drink lots of water to help hydrate yourself
Avatar m tn What can I use on my bottom lip? Currently cracked open, not healing, and can't keep anything on it for long. Eating or drinking it causes it to open again. Use aquaphor at night, but nothing stays on during the day.

Avatar n tn 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??

5952537 tn?1378326194 Unfortunately, there is no cure for lots of types of pain. You should try yoga type visualization and breathing to remove yourself from the pain. Just give it time and realize you are lucky that they will heal in time and it's not permanent. Consider it character building. Everybody has to deal with pain now and then. You can do it. I worked with a surgeon who cracked ribs playing golf, and he still showed up to work and stood and did surgery, just like always.
Avatar f tn 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.
Avatar f tn Check out the website below that gives you more advice with regard to painful cracked lips, how to deal with them and the types of illnesses that can cause cracked lips. http://www.wikihow.com/Get-Rid-of-Painful-Cracked-Lips 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.

Sometimes if the bottom or top lips seems to be curled in, even just a tiny bit, it can make things worse. Other than that, I wish you the best and hope the pain eases up sooner for you than it did for me.
Avatar m tn t want to go in for an un-necessary procedure if it will heal on its own. I am scheduled to go back in two more weeks to start the process of getting a bridge. Thank you!
Avatar n tn 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!
Avatar m tn Also, there is cracked mouth which are cracks in the skin in the corner of the mouth. This is not herpes either.
