My lips have been in complete agony since Christmas. I have tried absolutely everything you can name and nothing has helped for more than a couple of hours.

• I use no actives or serums
• I switched face wash and it’s the inkey oat balm
• I’ve tried using Vaseline throughout the day, have done this for months and it helps keep it tolerable
• Blue blistex in the little tub, again, it “helps” but only for a short time
• Laniege (sp?) lip sleeping mask, use this every night
• I live in a very humid place, beside the ocean
• my house is set to be 60% humidity, but I did use a bedside humidifier for sleep for months in the winter/spring but no difference
• my skin is naturally quite dry but I’ve got everything else sorted, my face has never been more moisturized.
• I drink A LOT of water
• I don’t drink anything acidic that would irritate the skin.

I have also tried just using nothing in case the products were irritating, but the pain was unbearable, I could barely move my mouth as it hurt so bad.

What the hell is this?? It’s insanely irritating.

Seeing a dermatologist isn’t an option, the wait is approx 3-4 years where I live (Nova Scotia).

Anyone deal with something similar?? Anything helped??
