Avatar f tn It gets embarrassing sometimes, because people point out the red ring around my mouth. Quite often. Does anybody know a brand of lip therapy that actually WORKS, or have another suggestion? Thanks!
Avatar f tn It took 10 days before my lips got better as I kept using several products (Neosporin Overnight Lip Renewal Treatment, Carmax, Medicated Chapstick and Vaseline white petroleum for lips). I guess they were just extremely dry. I usually try to keep hydrated so I don't know how it happened. I was prepared to see doctor but they got better. I have had anxiety and stress so perhaps this was part of it.
Avatar f tn I am 25 years old.I am using Vaseline petroleum jelly since last two years but i haven't seen any reaction by this but since last 1 yr my lips getting darker day by day and my lips started to get more dry and chapped than usual, even itchy. They felt like sand paper and often developed tiny bumps. If rubbed hard enough, the bumps would produce a clear liquid.
Avatar f tn ve used a lot of different medications-- topical steroids seem to work best, but I am concerned about long term damage to my skin. At this moment, I seem to have had an allergic reaction to petroleum jelly. I used it as a moisturizer for several months because it really helped control my eczema. my skin felt great for about 6months. However, after applying the Vaseline to my face a few nights ago i noticed that my eczema was actually worse in the morning.
Avatar n tn Dry out the lesions completely by patting and air drying after washing with a mild soap and use petroleum jelly to lock out moisture. It is vital that the affected areas be clean and completely dry before application of the jelly. You can also apply small amounts of athlete’s foot cream which is available over the counter. If the symptoms persist then please consult a dermatologist as oral antimicrobials may be needed. I hope it helps.
Avatar f tn now either walk around in circles for a few minutes or go sit down and let your lips dry out just a bit more on their own (id say 10 minutes maybe 20, after that grab some petroleum jelly AND ONLY petroleum TRUST ME, aquafor is good for a while but then it just end up doing the same **** as chapstick. get th damn jelly.
Avatar f tn my daughter has had periorifical dermatitis for over a year that we finally found out was caused by using petroleum and paraffin based products (vaseline, aquaphor and lip balms) around her mouth. Once she stopped using the petroleum, her face started to clear up. You really have to check ingredients to find products without petroleum though, but it has worked for her. Hope this helps.
Avatar n tn I have been applying the desonide every once in awhile to get rid of it when it becomes really bad and i have made an appt at a new dermatologist but it isn't until September 4th. I have been just applying vaseline clear petroleum jelly all the time to my lips. Do you think using this too much will affect them. Is there anything else I can do?
Avatar f tn I get this white dry patches in my bikini area around where the edges of my panty goes on my inner thighs,it also flaky but when I wash it or wet the area the whiteness goes away, but once it gets dry it's white and flaky again, I also put petroleum jelly on it and it help hydrating it, is it because of dryness? And should I keep using petroleum jelly to help moisturizing it?
Avatar f tn I have changed my mouthwash, stopped eating extra strong mints and only use plain petroleum jelly as a lip balm. I can now see a HUGE improvement.
Avatar n tn Hi It seems that the dark patch has developed due to friction from your foot-wear. You should try applying a moisturizer, Vaseline petroleum jelly and soaking your foot in warm water for a few days which will soften the skin and the discoloration would go away. If it doesn’t resolve in a few days time, you should consult a doctor.
Avatar m tn I soaked my glans penis in salt water twice a day for 7 days and 2 of the lumps have completely healed and the glans penis is no longer red raw. The one on my protruding meatus lip has shrunk in size, but the lump will not go away. I have pierced it twice with a needle and blood came out, no pus, both times the meatus lip ballooned (inflated) in size, a few days later the swelling reduced, but the lump has not gone away. Should I try a OTC steroid cream on a trial basis?
732948 tn?1245894551 That brings me to the first real helpful form of EM mitigation – Petroleum Jelly. Using petroleum jelly on the areas of skin that are blistered or that I think may become blistered due to trauma has significantly improved my condition. It doesn’t prevent an episode of EM, but petroleum jelly does seem to make an outbreak more manageable. During an outbreak, I ALWAYS keep a coating of petroleum jelly on my hands and the tender skin near my eyes.
Avatar f tn Vaseline is perfectly safe, your best bet is to get it in a tube so it stays clean. Women do not like it for sex because it is less good for the inside of their vagina, they prefer KY Jelly because it is water soluble unlike Vaseline which is based on petroleum. So don't offer it to your lady friends as lube.

Avatar f tn try using a good lip balm, not wax or petroleum jelly (vaseline). It could be a cold sore (herpes 1) or just really bad chapped area. HSV 1 is very common. It can show up unannounced and direct sun light it known to cause it to spring up. cold sores will clear on their own in a week or so. try not to lick or chew or pick at that spot.
Avatar m tn So, then I looked carefully at the lip treatment I used and saw it was not 100% pure Petroleum Jelly it had some flavoring in it even though it said 100% petroleum jell as the active ingredient. So, I gave them all to my husband and got pure petroleum jelly. Things got better for 2 days and now my lips are swollen and I am having trouble breathing. I have to also mention I am on Adrenal XR jell caps and for the past two or 3 weeks I have been out and have been taking the non jell caps.
Avatar n tn I would try and see if that is the case, and avoid Vaseline, because petroleum jelly is Vaseline. and for me at least, I can use Vaseline anywhere else, except on my lips. On wiki there is a list of other things you can use, like coconut oil/butter to soothe chapped lips, or even honey. http://en.wikipedia.
Avatar n tn when i was 7 years old, my lips were pink and beautiful as i used to apply vaseline coming in higher classes i got busy and left the habit then i started getting dark lips, my mother suggested to continue the habit and so i did and started putting petroleum jelly twice everyday but the darkness on the side of my lips and on my lips continued and even after going to many dermatoligists and using different medicenes gave no change ! im now in deseprate need of help!
Avatar n tn The only the dermatologist will allow me to use on my mouth is vaseline petroleum jelly, which I apply every few minutes. If I try anything else, my skin stings like a nettle rash. My next follow-up with the dermatologist is next week.
Avatar f tn line the inside of your nose with thin layer of petroleum jelly or waxaline once per day and keep up on water intake. That should slow them. If your nose is pouring blood, take a tiny wad of tp, roll it into a ball (maybe half the size of a pea) and shove it inside your upper lip, (between the lip and teeth) right up against the septum (tissue between the nostrils). But don't put it in the nose..
Avatar m tn I used condom but she put some Jell maybe (petroleum jelly) in her vagina. I read before, if we use jell for lubricant there is a chance for condom failure. is it risky?

I have one girl friend and we are going to get married. can I do sex with her or i want to wait untill tested. please advice me.
