Brief Answer:
Do you use lip balm? If not, I advise you to!

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thanks for the image. I have reviewed it fully and your lips at this time do not seem so concerning to me.

Dry lips are managed by using lip balms. Vaseline or chapstick would do the work. Apply regularly to provide a protective coating so that it can prevent water loss which causes dryness, small wounds and bleeding. Avoid soaking with saliva and trying to chop of any fleshy particles with the teeth a this only worsens the scenario

I hope this helps. I wish you well. Thanks for using our services and feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.

Brief Answer:
What did you suse?

Detailed Answer:
A balm cannot cause a yellowish fluid to come out from your lips. I recommend you exercise more patience and tolerance and tell me if you are not noticing any significant improvement within a week.

I wish you well. Give it a try and update me. Disregard the initial experiences and make sure you carry on applying several times in a day for at least a week.

I hope to hear from you.

Ive used burts bees, blistex and chapstick. Neosporin and a&d.
doctor
Answered by Dr. Ivo Ditah (3 minutes later)
Brief Answer:
No neosporin should be used.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Do not use neosporin. Using too many unnecessary products rather causes irritation, worsens the condition and delays healing. Keep away from them and carry on as recommended.

I wish you well.
