Warning after nurse sunbathed with Vaseline on her lips and burned her mouth so badly it turned into GIANT scab
A nursing student who forgot to wear SPF lip balm and only used Vaseline while sunbathing for a week was left unable to leave home without a mask - as her lip burned so badly it turned into a giant scab. Ellie Jean had gone to Portugal for the Rolling Loud festival earlier this month and spent a week sunbathing - using suncream on her body but she did not think of doing the same on her lips.

I just kept putting [skin healing] cream on it but it didn't really do anything. It felt like burning on my lip and whenever I tried to eat or move my mouth like to smile, all of it would crack and bleed and it was so painful.
She was prescribed a week-long course of antibiotics which she is still taking and thankfully her lips are gradually healing. Ellie said: "I thought the cold sore cream would sort it out but when I didn't I went to the doctor. The teen now vows to always use SPF on her lips and warns others to do the same as she recovers from the horrific burn. She hopes that the large scab won't leave a scar now that it has fallen off and her lip continues to heal.
