That's a symptom of scurvy-lack of vitamin C.

Try taking 500 mg of acerola rose hips natural

cherry flavored vitamin C twice a day and a good

vegan daily multivitamin. these can be found at health food stores. You also

might be eating or drinking something that is irritating your mouth.

It could also be makeup that is causing a reaction.

Go to a dermatologist ask about Desowin cream.

Do you use a dipilatory on your lips?

[100% veg*n ] Advice?

 

 

I recently changed to a vegan diet and it is going even better than I

had hoped. However, I was wondering about a problem I am having. I

am having trouble with the skin cracking on my lips at the sides of

my mouth. I have never had any problems with lip cracking sores and

wonder if changing diet has affected this. Sorry to be a little

gross. These cracks in my lips at the sides of my mouth cannot be

due to contact with someone else, as I am celibate.

I had the same problem quite severely at uni, but I associated it with

stress, as I was trying to do my dissertation and it wasn't going very well

at the time. I also got it a bit every few years, though not so badly, when

I was vegetarian. I have no idea what caused it really, but I don't *think*

I was vitamin C deficient. I'm going to eat all of the limes I brought from

the market now though ).

 

Sorry to not be much help - just thought I'd let you know you're not the

only one.

Wow! How kind and wise you all are! I feel much better with all of the

advice I got on this topic. And, I am very pleased that I can try some

natural remedies before I go hang out at the doctor's office and pay money

just to hear from him that I have " mouth sores " . <duh>

I don't know of anyone who's had that trouble, it could be just your body

adjusting to it's new way of life, maybe get some of that lip balm stuff?

Or some vitamin E cream would probably be best. I think I seem to remember

my body did a few strange things for the first couple of months, but can't

remember exactly what it was. Settled down pretty quickly though.

Love Shell.
