problem with effudex close to lips

I was told to put effudex all over face and that it is ok to put effudex right up to the lip line after applying lip gloss to protect the lips. After about a week, I noticed some iritation on the mucus membrane at edge of mouth. Somehow the effudex got onto the mucus membrane when it should not have. 

It is clear there is sun damage in the area, but I am afraid to continue to put effudex so close to the lip. Has anyone had this problem? Any recomendations? Thank you!

Hi,

I'm sure I've read on here about people who have put Efudix on their lips. One person wrote about their lips sticking together and drinking with a straw.

Don't want to put you off as Efudix does a great job and any pain is worthwhile.

I've found Efudix always spreads further than you mean it to. So those doing their lips must have got it in their mouths.

If your doctor has told you not to put it on your lips I wouldn't be keen to ignore it although I might go back and ask if I need to and if in your case it's a problem.

Thank you for the reply, sorry I didn't answer back sooner.  It seems like if there is damage on skin next to lips, there would also be damage on the lip. Thanks again.
