Re: Update plus What you guys think

You probably separated the scab from the lips when you brushed your teeth (your lips stretched too much) and the raw skin is burning now. It's the same when you smile or laugh then the skin tears apart. It's not the toothpaste that's causing the burn.

Leaving them alone will make your lips look like Daniel Miller's lips looked like with those big yellow crusts. Don't forcefully pull the skin off, sometimes it can bleed when you're too reckless.

I don't know about those ointments you're mentioning but most people here said to avoid topical steroids. Also, don't bother with the derms. I've been to few of them, they'll recklessly stretch your lips wide open damaging the skin even more, prescribe you a useless ointment & tell you to just "leave it alone" & sometimes they'll have you take a biopsy. I've actually had 2 biopsies taken. Basically what I'm tryna say is, don't waste your time with derms.

Just get the Aquaphor, it will help a lot. Tweet
