A member asked:
My lips have been dry for two weeks, i have been using lipbalms and drinking lots of water. what can help them heal quickly?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Use only vaseline: People can be allergic to lip balms (especially ones that contain fragrance or castor oil). Using plain vaseline will help eliminate the possibility of allergy. Another common allergen is cinnamon flavoring in gum or toothpaste. If this doesn't help, a dermatologist might treat you with a corticosteroid.
