I've got a sore crack . .

[MissCommando]

in the corner of my lips (on my face!). It's really sore and I've got no vaseline or lip balm. What could I put on it?

Thank you

Olive oil (or any cooking oil)

[MissCommando]

Yep, I've got some of that but I certainly won't want to taste it - eww. Will give it a try though. Ta

Stop kissing that 'untouchable' dude

It's caused by a (Riboflavin) B12 deficiency, Miss Commando. Used to get it all the time. Flipping sore, isn't it?

[Jemisa]

Whiskey is right, I suffered badly like that the corner of my eyes, sore nose. My doc sent me for a blood test and yes I was deficiant in Vit B12. I now go to my docs every 3 months for an injection and have had no probs in that area ever since.

Thanks for replies but I don't really suffer with sores round my mouth, this is a one off.

One old fashioned remedy is to lift up a horses tail and kiss its bottom

This won't cure your chapped lips but it WILL stop you licking them

[sophie_1003]

Jem/whiskey- did you have them all the time or were they on and off; reason I ask is because earlier in the year I had very sore patches on each corner of my mouth and was going to go to the doctors but then they cleared up; one has appeared again now and think it might be linked to stress so not sure whether to go or just keep putting cream on?

[whiskeysheri]

Every now and again, Sophie, so probably related to that. x
