Title: Chapped lips?
Post by: Annig83 on October 26, 2011, 06:14:49 PM

I've noticed lately that my lips have become more and more chapped since starting dialysis in April this year.  Anyone use a product that has been working really well for you?  I currently use Burt's Bees Lip Balm, but it feels rather greasy on my lips and I don't really like it.   :thx;

I use plain Chap Stick. Brand or generic. I think it's the best for chapped lips.

I also use Burt's Bees and like it best of any of the others. Not sure that any of them are not going to feel greasy, at least at the outset.

My chapped lips are from my blood pressure meds ... I use basic chapstick too.

I have the same problem and when I brought it to my Neph he said that it was good b/c it means that I am dehydrated...... ugghhh.... its frustrating b/c i found that if I use just the plain old chap stick it makes them worst over time, it does however give me temp. relief, so if anyone has anything that would actually HEAL that would be great if they share..........

great topic   ;D
