That has happened to me many times when I use a new lip gloss or lipsticks as I have extremely sensitive skin. When it happens, I go see a doctor. For me, it never gets better naturally. If I leave it, even though I stop using the lipstick, it gets worse. I always have a medical treatment like the a cream that I can get only from a doc.

You probably need to drink more H2O...\nIf your lips keep drying out, you might be dehydrated.

~ Do not panic!  This is completely normal.  It occurs when lips dry out due to wind or sun.  It is known as "chapped lips."  If you go into a pharmacy (aka "drug store" - the legal kind) or even a grociery store with a drug section (again the legal kind) you will find small cylidrical tubes of a special kind of creme called chap - stick.  You may find this with lip sticks too on occasion.  Purchase it and follow the directions by removing the cap and rubbing the creme onto your lips.  It will help them heal, and may help to prevent your lips from chapping again.

I have used ABREVA, it is very expensive, about 15 dlls but I think is good, also try to use any medication when u start feeling the blister, because if u star using now, it wont help much, also if you go to a walgreens they have a section where u can find mexican products , try vitacilina, it is not expensive and will help your lip heal fast

You need to drink more water and liquids. This shows you have a fire constitution and should balance it with water and cooling foods and drinks. The more you use chemical stuff on them, the worse it will get. All these things are only temporary reliefs. You could try some honey mixed with olive oil on your lips at night or whenever you are at home. It should help - but overall don't forget to keep your entire system well hyrdated.

You should see a Doctor first. I have a homemade remedy Lip-Ex and I take my Aloe plant and put the juice in it and stir it. But you may want to ask your Doctor first in case you are allergic to Aloe.

Your lips are healing.  Leave them alone and they should be fine in another week or so.  Try a little medicated chapstick a few times a day if it's very bothersome.  This will help moisten the dead skin that is trying to shed itself.

Fortunately, it is extremely unlikely that your swollen lip is caused by MS.  MS affects the nervous system and causes reactions in the brain and CNS related to signal processing.  It doesn't generally produce swelling.\n\nBoth doctors are probably right.  It's probably allergic, probably makeup-related, and probably nothing to worry about.  If it gets worse, you start to feel a change in the lip (lumpiness, intense pain), or if it starts to ooze (yuk, sorry), see the doctor (not the dermatologist) right away.

There are lots of things on the market that would help. Blistex, Chapstick, etc.. One of the best and cheapest things you can use is just plain old Vaseline. If it is generic it will be called petroleum jelly. I keep a jar in my medicine cabinet just to use on my lips.

maybe you can go to walmart and get a moisturizing face wash. that should help. i had the same thing and i used carmex on my lips. but dont worry, theres nothing wrong with you, maybe its just the bath soap that you use that dried your skin out. when you go to bed though, glob on the carmex and your lips will feel better in the morning, i promise. good luck         ps or you can use the blistex lip fusion on your lips. that works too

Swelling, or inflammation, is caused by a release of histamines in the body as an immune response to an allergen, antigen or physical injury to tissues of the body. This is usually accompanied by redness and itching as well as increased temperature of the affected area and pain. The best over the counter remedy is any antihistamine such as benadryl. This should solve your problem, unless the case is too severe, in which you will probably just have a stronger antihistamine prescribed to you. If benadryl doesn't work you should definitely see a doctor.

I hate to say it but COLD TURKEY!!!! your lips acually stop producing moisture when you use a product like that.\nChap stick and other brands know this thats why they make it in sooo many flavours to get you started.\njust stop the first 3 days or so.....it will suck but (remember do not lick them itl make it worse) but after 3 or so days your body will get back into shape and start producing moisture in that area again!!\nGOOD LUCK!

Take L-Lysine 500mg. until the cold sores start clearing up.You can buy this at the vitamin section.Also use a lip ointment,the best that you can afford. After your cold sores clear up,it is not necessary to continue the L-Lysine until you get another breakout.

I don't want to alarm you but I had the same problem. My lips were unusually chapped and I kept using different lip medication.\n\nAfter a few months everything was healed except a slit on my upper lip. It looked like a bad paper cut. Finally I went to my doctor and he sent me to a dermatologist. They tested it and it was a pre cancer lesion. They said it would never have healed on it's own and continued to get worse.\n\nThey actually used a form of dry ice and zapped it. I had not realized what a pain it was to put up with it until it was gone. The only pain I had was for an instant when they zapped it. It was well worth it. It would have become cancer in short order if I hadn't finally taken care of it.\n\nIf yours has lasted that long it's time to get medical help.

use a different acne medication or try to keep the acne medicne away from your lips. if you think about it most people dont really need acne medicine near their lips. keep on moisterizing!

try ant-acids, they help with the sore, swollen taste buds. Also try a good mouth wash.
