at first my lips were dark and really really chapped even when i had put all sorts of chapsticks they were still chapped, then I had this tape feeling on my lip on like my lip not really on the border line but more in the middle right, after that a bubble appearanced formed it was lclear like, and a couple weeks later my lips got lighter, after that I started to get tiny lil bumps all over my lip and the bubbly thing was still there while this was happening it hadn’t hurt st all to me it just feels painless then clear liquid came out then I started using abreva but I’ve been using it for awhile and it really hasn’t change anything the bubbly skin on my lip is still there
