What is carmax? Sounds like a gasoline additive or something.... would I
find it in an auto parts store?

it is a lip balm, in a little pot, pretty pricey, when I was very young I
ended up with sunburn so bad it split my lip, then the band teacher said
play or not in the band, so my mom let me decide, and I used it religiously,
now I just have one permanent scar that in summer isn't very noticeable, I
consider it magic, Lee

table top struck me in the mouth, nearly broke some teeth and split open my
lip, which is now very swollen and sore. I've been putting salve on it but
it doesn't seem to help. Here it is a week later and it's still agonizingly
painful. What can I do to make it heal faster?


Suggestion:See a good dermatologist. I once hit my upper lip
accidentally and got a blood blister on the inside of the lip. It
didn't seem to improve in time so I went to a dermatologist and told him I
had a hemorrhoid on my lip. He said that was exactly what it was. He cut
it out, stitched it close and it healed just fine. Good luck. MLB

Its a lip balm, but one of the better ones. It comes in a yellow container,
with I think red lettering. Should be right next to the chapstick and
blixtex, etc. I think it comes in a couple of forms, and the one in the
small tube might be more painless to apply to your poor lip.

I think its as good or better than Burt's Bees products and not quite as
expensive.

Burt's Bees, huh... makes me think about the time I got stung on the lip by
a wasp!

I don't have any hints for you, but I do hope you're feeling much better
by now.
