My mouth hurts:(

[VeronikyKitty]

My poor mouth has been hurting a lot. How can I get rid of my swollen,red, burning, chapped and numb mouth? It is very dry and cracked and looks like I am wearing red lipstick. It hurts and feels numb and burns.This happened about a month ago and will not go away and I am concerned thank you so much!!!

Hi Veronikykitty.

Areyou talking about chapped, cracked,red, lips? If you are and you have no other health problems then protect them from the weather. I can remember my kids sporting this smile and it was very painful. And try not to lick them so much. While i can't mention product names, they have many over the counter products for chapped lips, wear it constantly. At night if you get my hint a very greasy product thats been around for 100 years (very greasy) will give them extra protection while you sleep.
Now of course if your lips are to the point of breaking and bleeding it would be a good idea to see a dr. so to be sure your not with an infection.

No licking your lips!

maybe a cold sore? I've had that a couple times where my lips were so dry and I was constantly licking them, a red ring appeared around my mouth. I used greasy product for chap lips multiple times a day until it healed.

Hi how you doing? doing well, i hope.
ive had something close, to what you have discribed. my lips were constantly burning
and if i smiled.... painful. my lips would get so dry that they would crack and bleed!!.
but it would only last for maybe 3 to 4 days.
(not even applying vitamin e oil constantly, day and night... didn't help)
PROBLEM SOLVED. why it was happening to me..
i found out what it was...
one more thing.... take a good look at your finger nails the skin is it dry or cracking?

anyways my problem was about a week before..
this problem wuld accur. every day i had a totaly totaly bussy day, so bussy that i would
forget to drink any water, (i mean water, just plain o" water coffee/soda/juice are not water
in the correct form that your body requires)
my three promblems were lack of water / lack of sleep / and i (I) smoked to much at that time.
i would drink two bottles of water andone bottle of gatorade, two bottles of water and one bottle of gatorade over & over, and plenty of sleep.
and it finally went away.
well these are things that helped me, maybe they will help you, maybe not. but i hope everythings works-out for you.
good luck
