A member asked:
Blood scab on lip, should i be concerned?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Chapped? Injury?: If your lips are very chapped or you recall an injury, there is nothing to worry about. Use an ointment like aquaphor lip therapy to soothe chapped lips. If you had an itching or tingling sensation before the scab developed, then you may be experiencing a cold sore. If it is a sore that does not heal and go away, you may have a skin cancer. If you are unsure, please see your dermatologist.
