Lips peeling to the point of bleeding.

I'm so frustrated. I drink a ridiculous amount of water. I've tried probably a dozen lip balms, including one that was $20 and all natural, and nothing helps. My lips crack and peel every other day. I've always had somewhat dry lips, and pregnancy made it worse... Now, I have a cold and can only breathe through my mouth, and it's the worst. Ugh!

Thanks, y'all. I've got a few new things to try from your suggestions. ? Fingers crossed that I find some relief.

Walmart sells vitamin e sticks, like in a lipstick tube, in the vitamin aisle. Works wonders, I also use it for any cuts and dry skin around my nails. Easy peasy

I put on aquaphor right before bed every night and just a tiny tiny bit when I do my make up (lipstick) it's the only thing that works for me.

Vitamin E

Yep coconut oil here as well ? I use a sugar scrub made with coconut oil once a week.

Nancy is right. They have drying agents. Use beeswax and coconut oil.

DON'T use petroleum based products (Vaseline, aquaphor) they actually create a barrier so you can't absorb moisture Tom the air. Get a humidifier, exfoliate your lips in the shower, and dab with a mix of vitamin E and coconut oil. Oils will moisturizer but not create a non-breathable barrier like petroleum.

Nipple cream or a lanolin based nappy rash cream. They have healing agents in them. Stay away from lip balms, they have exfoliatants in them to make your lips smooth, but will make dry lips worse. Also take some vitamin B too.

Try the blistex in the little blue container.

I use to make a moisturizing sugar scrub i use at night time. I would take a table spoon of sugar and poke a hole in two vitamin E capsules. Squeeze the capsules into the sugar and mix around. Then add a little bit of olive oil or coconut oil and mix until you get the consistency of wet sand. I would put it in a small sealable container, and replace it at the end of the week. I liked it because it would remove a lot of the flakey dry skin and moisturize at the same time. Vitamin E is suppose to help with healing and really seemed to help heal my lips.

Don't know if you have it in the us but I use blistex I bet that would work for you !

You can make a coconut oil and sugar scrub to help exfoliate the dead skin off your lips. (I just put it in a small container) Then follow up with just coconut oil. That's what I do when my lips get out of control.

Neosporin !! Life saver , it's for cuts & stuff like that but works wonders I had the same problem

Aquaphor and Vaseline are the same thing. I would stick to Vaseline. I totally second the coconut oil! I love it and use it everyday as a lotion.

Carmex did nothing for me but burn... Lips still peeled while using it, even after exfoliating.

I've read all the people hailing coconut oil as the miracle cure for everything ever... I couldn't justify buying it for just dry lips before, but I give up. I'll look for some tonight and give it a go as well.

My husbands lip use to split all the time and even blister up! He now uses Carmex and it is the only lip balm that helps him

I use Vaseline every night, and that helps a lot! I'd imagine aquafor will help too.

Coconut oil? I use it in the shower on my whole face. It's helped a lot since I was having similar dry skin issues. You've probably already tried it though. :/

Short Luteal Phase?

I've just started temping because I believe that the reason I haven't had a BFP yet, after 20 months, is because I believe I may have a Luteal Phase Defect.

Ok I know I've done a few of these but my friend posted this on FB and we're getting some hilarious results. This was my last text:

herpes..

I'm soo sad. I've been with my husband 6 years next month. Him and SS get cold sores I thought I would never get them. Blahhh my lip is soo swollen it hurts and its soo damm itchy. I hate it I hate it. My husband just got one 3 weeks ago I didn't kiss him or share cups. :(

Does he take medication for it? I have herpes and take a medication that suppresses it so
Cold sore only refers to the location of your outbreak. Doesn't specify your strain. Generally type 1
Ours is hsv1 we've had it about 5 years and my poor SO suffers heaps of break

What to do if lips keep peeling?

Can anyone recommend a good lip repair thing? My lips keep peeling no matter how much water I drink and chapstick I apply. I usually wear Carmex chapstick and its not helping. Im struggling hardcore and I don't want them to end up cracking and bleeding 😩

m00my2five The kids dentist recommended lanolin cream
jenx My best friend's daughter had this and they tried everything. For some reason, Nivea lip balm healed
lizibear84 Neosporin makes an overnight lip repair that’s awesome. It’s white Vaseline and works wonders
