Asked By:Chelle R

Hi, I used a teeth whitening kit with veey strong gel and uv light. It has burnt a red circle around my lips that will not heal. It has been like 3 weeks. I have tried everything from vitamin E to chapstick & moisturizer to olive oil and aquaphor, nothing seems to heal it completely. I have a swollen red circle around my mouth with cracks in the corners. Please advise
