Sore lips after radiotherapy

Yes it’s due to a lack of saliva. I was the same for a long time. I used a home made beeswax salve. There are plenty in the market so just find one that suits. 
Try not to keep licking your lips which just makes it worse.

Hi Sue

I would think that dry lips would be quite common for most of us...I used Vaseline Aloe Vera which helped...

Exercise helped me get back on track.

Hi Sue ditto am sure my mums looking back at me through the mirror some days. I also use blistex moisturiser bought 3 tubes today from boots £2.69 each lasts me around 2 months. I get sore lips with being on my bike I also use uvustst lip stick factor 50 as the sun effects my lips as well 

hope you’re getting there slowly.

Thanks Dani it’s made my wrinkles look more pronounced and I’m using vasiline and lip balm that doesn’t seem to ease the soreness x

Thanks Peter I’ll buy some tomorrow. 

Thanks Hazel it’s taken far too long to feel better and I just want to get back to eating out and enjoying a glass of wine. I’m in my 4th month now and still eating mashed up food, custard and mash and gravy. I’m so fed up xx

Hi Sue I know you won’t think it but it’s early days for you, as we say its a marathon nit a sprint. Easy for me to say but you’ll get there I was on what I would call nursery food for a good while. Ready made mince dishes from marks and Spencer with lots and lots of gravy and mashed veg supplemented with the odd ensure was standard fayre. As did wine I hope it will come back for you I can now do a very weak gin and tonic with lots of ice. A friend it mine prefers champagne or babycham he can’t do wine neat but mixed with soda water he can. 
the blistex works for me.

Hi Sue, I use oralieve nourishing lip care. I put it on at night time also and it keeps my lips mouristurised during the night. Can get it in Amazon as well as oralieve site.

Thanks I’ll give that a go jg123
