My lip was seriously chapped, and has now cracked. It's been this way a few days. It just keeps cracking in the same place, it won't heal.
Is it ok to put antibiotic ointment on my lip? Of course I would try not to lick my lips. It really hurts.

yes, this is safe. The base ingredient in Neosporin is petrolatum or Vaseline- safe for lips

Neosporin actually has an ointment/lip balm for severly chapped lips. I used it alot when I got really bad chapped lips in OIF

Yes, it is safe to put Neosporin on your lips. As long as you don't digest it you will be fine. Even if a little gets into your mouth and saliva, it will not harm you. In better terms, as long as you don't eat it, you will be fine!

Yes, it's fine I do it all the time-like you said, just don't lick your lips. They also make Neosporin lip balm you may want to try-it's similar to Blistex, you squeeze a small amount out and rub around w/ the applicator.

sure safe don`t worry about it
and it better to use the eye or the ears forms of antibiotics to make suer it will not irritate the lips
