Title: Pucker up!
Post by: FemmeInM on January 04, 2016, 11:05:38 AM
HRT/estrogen causing changes to the lips in some is a common occurrence, I've only been on an AA and E for 10 weeks this Wednesday and have had a lot of growth already since about the 3rd day (happy happy!).

My question is has anyone else who's had lip growth had it accompanied by their mouth pushing out into a pucker, sometimes really hard, completely outside of their intention or control? Sometimes it lasts a whole day and is quite painful after a while and is very noticeable to others - been told to stop pouting loads of times!

I can't say that I've had that happen to me but my lips are definitely fuller now and *always* feel chapped even in the middle of summer!  I'm hoping that someday that will go away but so far it hasn't.

I continue to keep Chap-Stick in business.....  ;)

My lips dry out like crazy now. I think it might be the spiro, its a diuretic.

Hmmmmm.  I hadn't thought of it being due to the Spiro but that's definitely a possibility.  I've always just attributed it to them changing size and/or shape.

It's a side effect. It dries you out. I use lotion and lip balm like crazy now, especially during the winter.
