Is it ok to bite your lips, when the skin is al ready coming off?

You shouldn't bite it off - it can rip the skin even if just a little and the hardness is probably from the skin trying to heal.  Use vitamin E on your lips, try not to lick them or bite at them, and drink lots and lots of water!  Most dry skin is caused by lack of water in the system.

Definitely use Burt's Bees Chapstick.  It's way better than the rest.  And use it consistently in the winter, not just when your lips start getting chapped.

paint your nails or get a gel or acrylic overlay. if you paint your nails it will taste nasty when you bite them and with the overlay you cant bite it because its so hard! and your nails will look pretty so you wont want to hehe :)

What in the world were you doing around a crazy chick with a scalpel? What's done is done. If you have the labia sewn onto your upper lip, in time I would think that everything would be fine.

Oh, yeah.  My sister does it a few hours a day, and I used to do it.\nIt's because the lips are dry.  Have her drink a lots of orange juice, and othe fluid.  Then, have her use lip treats or just a tiny bit of vaselline (not in the innner lips because you don't her eating vaselline).  Gradually, the lips are moist, and there  won't be any dry part to pick or peel.

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.

You're right - it's BS. The only thing that happens when you lick your lips too much is that they get dry and chapped. :)

I had the same problem.  One thing I found that works is to buy some chapstick and make sure you put it on constantly.  I know it looks retarded to always be applying it to your lips, but trust me--if you apply more as soon as you feel it wearing off, it helps a lot.\n\nAlso, consciously pay attention to the chewing and biting.  As soon as you feel yourself doing it, force yourself to stop.  After awhile, hopefully the habit will go away.

sometimes, if we are chewing too fast, or have too much in our mouth.  It hurts a lot!  then you have to be careful, not to re-bite it...until it settles down. \n\nSlow down, and you can avoid chomping on your cheek or worse...the side of your tongue.

Kissing alternate cheeks as a goodbye is okay.\nA light kiss on the lips is borderline.\nMore than that is a no-no.

Well Mister, I think you got yourself a staph infection from picking at your lip. This is not uncommon for a staph to relocate from your face area to a nicer climate, your lip. You'd better get to a doctor or an ER to get some antibiotics or?  Good luck let them know why it started, they may have a look at it, it could be an infected hair that's feeding it, it may have to be pulled out.

lips are meant to be kissed and to kiss.

Well, ok. Stick you toungue inher mouth and just do anything in there but bite.

Meh.\n\nYou'd spread it if you let it out and let it spread.\n\nOn the flipside, if you coat the outside with some antiseptics, alcohols and other chemical nasties.... THEN pop it.... and immediately clean away the mess with tissue and apply more alcohol and stuff to the cut........ it will hurt, but you'll be rid of that ONE cold-sore and it shouldn't spread as nastily.\n\nBut then you'll have to continue doing that every time you get a new one.... which invariably you will eventually. \n\nYou can never get rid of it. The bugs live behind your ears.... seriously.

you might end up with a rash...but to avoid it...clean off the area with soap and water after it has come into contact with the skin...
