NO to olive oil after all!

[Guest guest]

At first, I thought olive oil was a nice lubricant for the lips, albeit one that

dried quickly

and needed to be reapplied often. I still had tape supporting my droopy lower

lip, and

didn't realize that the oil was dripping and settling under the tape. I gave

myself a rash on

my chin and under my lower lip, and now need special cream! Aargh!

Now, I have bought Aquaphor by Eucerin in the skincare section of CVS, based on

another

patient's recommendation here on the site, and it works wonderfully. Just keep

it gooped

on all the time, and there is minimal peeling. While I hate using a petroleum

product on

my lips, I gotta admit: it works! So I'll keep using it, and advise others to do

the same. a

1.75 oz. tube cost me $5.99, totally worth it for the relief it provides my

lips.

Damned rash! Just another wicked element to add to this swollen, droopy lipped

face! Ah

well, I wear it all like a badge of honor, and when I walk around outside and

people look at

me funny, I just feel proud because they have no idea what I've actually been

through
