@baker1 I was given that (Aquaphor healing ointment in tube) as well as CeraVe by another breast cancer patient before I started chemo. I have always had trouble with cold sores on my lips as well as cracking lips. This got me through chemo and radiation. Everyone is individual and sometimes we get advice that works for some and not for others. I'm glad the Burt's Bee balm has helped you.
