    use some ice and put it on your lip to numb the pain. if it is split and the skin is open, put some neosporen to help prevent infection. DONT constantly put lipgloss or anything on it. the neosporen will keep your lips unchapped.

    To heal dont try and play with it. i mean like no touchy!!!!. try applying chapstick a few times a day or once and a while try an ice cube. I hope this helps out your lip. if gets worse ask a doctor for help.

    Hi.you need to take a washcloth and put somrthing cold like an ice cube in it .then put it on your lip. don't apply ice on direct contact because that will only put too much chill on the lip and your lip will become too numb. so put the washcloth on and leave it on for at least 5-10 minutes then put some vaseline on it if you have some.hope you try this remedy.feel better

    Put an ice cube on it to numb the pain. What you shouldn't do? Don't bust it again.
