Dry lips and blood

    Hi there,

    Anyone else ever experienced this?? The last 2/3 weeks some mornings I've got up and had dry chapped lips and dried blood in my mouth/lips.

    As in I can spit blood maybe once or twice before it clears, so it's not my mouth actually bleeding. Doesn't happen at all during the day.

    Sounds like Gingivitis tbh.

    Definitely see your dentist.

    I used to get chapped lips in the winter time, and on on ocassion my lips would crack so much that they would actually start to bleed. Cold dry air seems to make it worse.
    Applying lip balm should sort this.

    Are you a vampire by any chance?

    Only on weekends, but this seems to happen midweek.
