I am about 8 weeks post-op. Getting in all my Protein, Vitamins and fluids. I am experiencing TERRIBLY dry lips. My skin is not especially dry. I am putting tons on different lip balms on without success.

Any thoughts?

I am having the same issue. I have found that Vaseline works the best. I put it on right before going to sleep and before I leave the house in the morning. I use medicated lip balm in between. Hope you find relief!

It sure is horrible, and you feel conscious of it all day. In reality probably no one else notices, but it is definetly not nice.Hope that you find something to help soon.

Well, I really didn't think it was dehydration but I am sure another 16oz of fluids won't hurt me.

I have had the same problem, made worse by a massive fever blister that abreva couldn't even stop. Abreva has ALWAYS worked for me, but not this time. my dry lips shouldn't have been caused by dehydration, because I was on a picc line infusing 3 liters of Fluid a day. I have gone through lots of lip balm, and thrown away a lot due to the fever blister. Now I am using Vaseline and applying with a qtip.

Iron deficiency will also cause this sort of "rash" its cracking in the corners with flaky red irritated skin. I upped the iron intake and use avocado oil to wash my face now and voila, no more cracks, rashes or acne!

I'm interested in the advocado oil - what sort of form is this in please? do you get it online? is it like a facial wash?

That avocado oil intrigued me too.

Great thread. I thought the lips problem was just me.

Its just regular old avocado oil from the health food store. I steam in the shower or hot wash cloth for 2 minutes, massage the oil all over the face, steam with the wash cloth again for 5 minutes. Once a week I repeat it three times to deep clean and hydrate. Pat dry. My friend told me about it. I didn't really believe it but I can't argue with the results. But I also upped my Vitamins

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
