Cracked lips

[B00]

I've got a crack right on the corner of my mouth, and it ruddy hurts, especially when I try to eat a cake from Greggs that's slightly bigger than gob size (yes even mine!). It bleeds and is seriously affecting the taste of the fondanty sugary goodness.

What can I put on it? The crack I mean, to the cake.

Help please, my calorie intake is in danger of slipping under the several thousand per day i'm used to :-(

Aloe vera

blisteze....

... you do realise that if you SHARED your cake, it would halve the problem?

[redcrx]

slice the cake up!!!
smaller bits wont split mouth. That way you wont waste away.

[B00]

it does heal slightly whenever i stop eating, but frankly, as you can imagine, that's out of the question for any length of time- well longer than half 'n hour anyway.

Aloe vera...in what form? Cream?

Will look out for that Blisteze jobby murray- thank you.

Nazzy ,that's a preposterous suggestion!

True Red, but that'll involve me getting back off the sofa.

this'll sting a bit at first but keep applying till your lips heal. n.b. stop kissing dirty gits.

OH swears by tincture of Myrrh for healing all sorts of sore, cracked "weepy" things on the skin (and mouth-ulcers). Get it from Lloyd's chemists, Neal's Yard etc.

Thanks guys :-)

just forget the cracked lips, let your extra sensory tastebuds take over and numb the pain in delirious oblivion and ecstasy. cake is a placebo to any negative health issues, i understand.

as plato said: the enjoyment of food is not a true pleasure because the purpose of eating is to relieve pain.

ok he was talking about the pain of hunger, but so what, same difference.,

[B00]

Trying my best Ankou, im eating my way through the pain. Imma trooper :-)

Lift a horses tail and kiss its bum.

It won't cure the crack but it WILL stop you licking your lips

[B00]

haha, yes I imagine it will!

How on earth do you get something like this? It's a split, literally on the corner of my mouth, it really hurts!

[mccfluff]

vinegar works a treat, honest

[B00]

As in brown malt vinegar? Oh ive got some of that- just dab it on?

I'll probably smell like a chip pan i guess, but nowt new there then!

[mccfluff]

lol :-)

[snags]

Cracked lips and scabby ears... what a pair... what have you and vibra been doing?

[B00]

Was that a yes McFluffy? Brown malt vinegar? Im waitig on your answer before I venture to school later sticking like Mr Wongs Chinese chippy down my road!

I know Snaggles, we'd make a delightful couple eh?

Err, perhaps not!
