The doctor said to put it on my bottom lip also.I have read posts on this board, but I have several questions.  Once, the mouth gets painful, how exactly is someone suppose to eat.  Is drinking out of a straw painful?  I would imagine anything touching the lips is painful.  I would like to be prepared with any food before I start this. The doctor said I could use Aquaphor, but he was not explicit in his directions in when to put it on.  How long after the Effudex can it be put on?Please, any help is appreciated.  Thanks,  Karrie  Karrie Sat, 01 Mar 2008 00:00:00 GMT
