Lip issues

Post by Noah23767 »

I recently had a problem with a sore on my upper lip. Naturally I decided to put some cream on it and the next morning it was gone, one problem arose though, the cream seemed to destroy the top half of my upper lip. It's now completely chapped and I've been trying everything I can. I've used vitamin E for 3 days, tried chop saver, and used some blistex DCT and none have substantially helped. Anyone have any advice on this?

Yeah, but you won't like it !
LEAVE IT ALONE

Don't play, don't kiss anybody, don't even touch it.
Give it a week.

You've poisoned yourself with chemicals and look at the result.
That's some solid advice. If I were you, unless you have a gig or audition or anything of that nature tomorrow, I would listen. If it's still like that in a week, see a doctor. It's happened to me before, just leave it alone.

Drink lots of water. No caffeinated drinks, and don't smoke either.

Skin needs hydration.
