Well, since then I think I've tried to quit using Blistex maybe two or three times, always with the same results. I had horribly swollen, blistered lips, infections in the corners of my mouth, not to mention the horrible cravings, anxiety and mental anguish that sometimes seem worse than the physical side-effects. So, I became addicted on it and I've lived my life around my addiction.

I wasn't addicted until I was about 20 years-old and in college did I ever start thinking that I could actually be addicted to this stuff. My corners of my lips, in particular started to become very susceptible to various infections- mostly yeast infections. I also had swollen blistered lips, pretty disgusting, you know. I've used every fungus/disinfectant cream known to man, but they always come back, they still do. The first time I was diagnosed with yeast infection on my lips, I confided to my dermatologist that I suspected I had an addiction to lip balm, so I showed him my tube and he told me to quit immediately.
