Let's see what the Abreva does.

With the burning of lips, it can be one of two major things.

1) Herpes under the skin...

2) some food you are allergic to. Shellfish in particular will do that to the lips. But other foods are potential culprits as well.

To strengthen the skin, one needs Omega-3s... flax oil, and fish oil. Zinc, Vit C and Bcomplex. Some people get cracks/fissures at the lip corners, and this may indicate low B status.

Do the Abreva first... to see a clear response. If that fails, then consider oral supplements. I am always here...no rush.

Some other lip balms have GLA in them. You can try those too, after the Abreva. They may call it liposomes, on the label, or some other fancy name.
