Cracked Lip Treatment

I've had a cracked lip now for a few days. I've tried putting Aquaphor on it overnight, during the day. Not putting Aquaphor on it for 24 hours. I've also tried Carmex.

Does anyone have any good remedies for cracked lips? It's killing me....

Re: Cracked Lip Treatment

  • I'm frankly shocked that there is a problem that vaseline/aquaphor can't solve. 

    perhaps it's time to bring in the big guns: vitamin A&D ointment.   it's like the duct tape of dermatologic conditions. it'll pretty much fix anything. 

     

  • I like the blue tube Blistex Complete Moisture, Neutrogena Naturals or, if it is really bad, Bag Balm (I know that the latter freaks some people out though because of its original use). 

    BTW - my new bike is in today.  I won't get it until mid next week, but I am beyond excited!

  • CARMAX ALWAYS WORKS FOR MY LIPS,. TRY WASHING UR LIPS WITH A SOAPY WARM RAG, RINSE, DRY, AND APPLY THE CARMAX FOR ABOUT A WEEK. I HOPE THIS HELPS
  • Make a paste in the palm of your hand with olive oil and sugar.  Get some on your finger, and then "brush" your lips with the paste.  Rinse.  Do that 1-2x/day until it clears up.  It also works for me.
  • I've been doing some reading online, and the dry cracked lips may be caused by the antibiotic or one of the meds I'm on for this blasted sinus infection. I see the ENT on Monday and will mention it to him.
  • I love the medicated Blistex in the blue pot. I hope you feel better!

    Haha, this!  I was going to suggest auqaphor when I saw the title of your post.  Have you tried a warm washcloth soak first before whatever you put on your lips?

  • I get terrible chapped and cracked lips.  I use Lansinoh Lanolin cream (it's nipple cream and it works fast.)
