I had lip injections (Juvederm) 2 weeks ago and developed cracks/cuts in the corners of my mouth where she inserted the needle for some of the injections. Initially there was bruising and swelling at the injection site, but that subsided however the corners of my mouth remain cracked and painful. I don't feel it is going to heal on its own as it has been a few weeks. I would like to avoid going to the doctors as it is such a minor issue. What can I put on it to help it heal? Thank you for your help!
