Title: Dry chapped lips and red raw sore eyelids!
Post by: Raenbo on November 14, 2014, 12:08:41 AM

 :(

Just thought I'd share... my eyelids are red raw and sore and my lips are chapped dry and burning!

I am assuming declining hormones!

Having a complete MOT with my gynae tomorrow... this forum has armed me with plenty of questions to ask.

Sending hugs to all you ladies!

Me too :-\
I know how to deal with my chopped lips but I am not sure about the eyelids...
Is it ok to apply an eye cream right over eyelashes?

My eyes are fine, but I keep getting a cracking in the corner of my mouth and it's so painful.   It is really hormones?

It's corners of my eyes which get sore. I use Simple eye cream on the corners & it's bliss!

Cracking in the corners of your mouth can be a yeast infection. My daughter had this and eventually we went to the GP. She was given Nystatin to take and hey presto it went.

Just a thought.

I have been taking sea buckthorn as had similar issues and it seems to be working, obviously if its a yeast infection you will need something from Gp,
