I'm having problems with my chapped lips! Help?!?

Question

I've had chapped lips for a long time. I recently took to Carmex and Vaseline. It works but 3 hours later my lips get chapped and this white scum stuff developes on the corners of my mouth. My dad and sister have the same thing. Does anyone else have this? If so, can you help in telling me how to get rid of it?

Thanks!

Answer 1

it sounds like you could be hypoglycaemic, this is where your sugar levels get low and you get the symptoms you described. make sure you have enough natural sugars. from fruit mainly. and maybe see a doctor.

  

Answer 2

My cousin has a problem with her lips and i got her some cream from the chemist called diprobase. Its not just for lips its used all over and it has worked a charm for her. But also make sure you drink plenty of water avoid cheap lip glosses and lip sticks and dont touch them with your fingers because they could end up infected.  

Answer 3

Drink more Water, sounds like your dehydrated so intake more fluids as this will replenish moisture in your skin and Lips. Also try using Blistex Lip Medex.

Check the pics above....is it like that?

Then you would need a rx for some topical chlortrimazole....

we see this alot.....

No amount of vaseline would help....you need the proper medicine....either your dentist or physician or dermatoligist could rx what you need

Answer 5

I agree, you should drink more water. My mom gets this coconut lip stuff at the Body Shop. Works so well at nourishing her lips! ( Hers get dry very fast. )
