Don't laugh to hard folks, but I use a dab of Preparation H and a bit of Vaseline Intensive care mixed and massaged in the lips at bed time...Ah, be sure to kiss your loved one before tho..."Shrinks swollen membranes" on sore chops and promotes the healing of cracked lips.(smells tho) Strolling long hours in a dixie trio in cold weather does take it's toll. Vitamin E pills work too...1000 mg size broken open on the lips also promotes healing. Be sure to clean your mouthpiece regularly. The bacteria built up on the rim can sure irritate when playing long hours...I rinse and wipe it clean on the breaks when I can. Are you still laughing? Jim
