Does anyone else with Fibro have horrible dry cracked lips?? In the last 2 months my lips are so dry, as well as a deep cut in the corner keeps coming back as well, and nothing over the counter works 100%...it "helps" but if I dont put something on my lips for 1 day, it is so painful....

@A MyFibroTeam Member it can be a side effect of some of the drugs that many of us take but how many of us actually read the fine print or google it? Xx
On my fibro page there's an entire page dedicated to just the explanation of drugs ... Today I think I'll add one for home remedies .... X
@A MyFibroTeam Member I had that problem really bad, many years ago. What I used was eatable Yeast from the health food store. It isn't the greatest thing to eat but it really works. The crack at the corners of the lips is from a vitamin B deficiency , mine was caused by stress. The eatable Yeast gets the cracks healed faster than anything, sometimes in one day.
I had the splitting corners for years, was told by a doctor that it is called Angular Cheilitis, and is usually caused by a B2 or iron deficiency. I was advised to take a B multivitamin and to increase my iron intake either through diet or supplements. I haven't had this in a while now, it happens every so often and I jump back on the vitamins, as it tends to coincide with me getting rundown generally.
Hope this helps. :)
I'm with you on this, I try to exfoliate them each day when I brush my teeth.... But the corners still split if I yawn before I put and creams on etc ...
Matte lipsticks are horrid as they actually hurt :(
The ones I find do work are the little tins of lip cream that Nivea do, currently using the blueberry flavoured one and applied liberally with a clean finger it does soak in x
I'll put this tip and the coconut one on the new fibro fighting site xx
Thanks everyone for your input...I went and got some B multivitamin this afternoon and did put the coconut oil on my lips as well...hopefully these things will work!! ;)
