I used to use a metal tube of something called Blisteze for cold sores snd if my lips were super chapped. It was a small thin tube with a red metal lid and I don't think it's around any more or if it is, I don't know how it's rebranded. My lips are so sore too. Does it exist or is there anything close? I like the Bkistex blue tub but it's not the same 😕
