Chapped Lips
Recently, I took my 5 year old daughter to the doctor’s for her chapped lips. I know it sounds extremely odd but her lips were chapped for two months with constant cracking and bleeding. I used all those chap sticks on her. Moisturizing, medicated or natural formula and not one worked. They were constantly scabbed and she was miserable. The doctor told me to throw away all of the chap sticks and to go back to basics. Vaseline petroleum jelly! He said to dampen my daughter’s lips slightly and then apply the jelly often. Within three days. My daughter’s lips were healed. You don’t have to buy those fancy chap sticks that do not work. Just buy any no-name brand of petroleum jelly.
