A member asked:
If somebody stretches their lips with their fingers and their lips bleed slightly at the corners, does this cause permanent damage to the lips?

No: not unless it is none on a constant basis then could lead to infections.

Unlikely: Unless you actually tear the lips apart, the wound will heal in days. But why does one do this in the first place?
