Ripped skin off my lip with sellotape

[springydaff]

Ouch! Any tips? Blinking hurts 💋

Ouch!
Slap some Vaseline on it maybe

It will heal quickly- the lips have a much more abundant blood supply than other areas of skin. Put some vaseline or sudocrem on it.

Um... why?

I did too. It’s really sore.

I did it years ago and I still wince when I think about it. It does heal so fast though. Don't drink hot drinks for a while if the hot cup will touch it and use lip balm often.

Fricking heck OUCH!

Wtf were you doing???

Get 8 hour cream on it - it’s got magic healing properties

Have done this a few times. Lots of lip balm

Oooouch I did this Xmas two years ago, I was wrapping presents and the tape literally got caught on my lower lip as I was waving it around and it ripped a chunk out of my lip, wouldn't stop bleeding!

I don't think there's much you can do, I had to leave it to heal

I did this just yesterday!!! I used some Egyptian Magic cream from an advent calendar last year...did the trick! It's a bit like Vaseline so if you've got some use that!!

What's 8 hour cream?

I'll have a go with the magic sudocrem.

Thanks for sympathy and suggestions 💋

Egyptian magic cream??

I did this a few years ago while wrapping presents. Ouch
Try either lip balm or moisturiser, particularly last thing at night before bed so it's working as you're sleeping.

Have done this too. Ouch ouch ouch.
Sudocrem is a good plan.

Do not pick.

Ouch! Believe it or not I did this putting a carpark ticket in my mouth while driving around looking for a space so sharing your pain. As pp said mouth injuries heal quickly.

Would you like some tcp?

Stings like a bugger. if the answer is no, I don't fancy that, then you're good.

Many a maardy child injury can be deflected in its tracks in our house by the threat of tcp.

However while you have a genuine injury I might go as far as to offer savlon.

I'm of the age where any whiff of tcp about my person strikes fear in my heart.

I was about to say 8 hour cream (Estee Lauder) I did the same on Monday and one application of 8 hour cream fixed it.

I've done that , hugs to you op!

Ouch! I caught my lip in my coat zip a few years ago and it hurt like a bastard. Only lasted a day or two though.

@IndigoApple OMG I did exactly the same thing! So painful.

@Jupiters ha ha thought that could've only happened to me!

I have done that awhile back with aluminium tape and it faded my top lip colour

done that. bastard painful
Vaseline helps

Oh no, that's the worst.
Blistex will help with pain,but they do heal quickly.
I use the wrist tape sellotape things now so it's nowhere near my mouth.
