Lip Burns?

[Humblepipe]

I'm not exactly new to pipe smoking, but have a new issue that has surfaced in the past 3-4 months. Maybe connected to blending my own tobacco? I have created 10 or so different blends. For the most part, blending oriental blends bathed in whiskey or rum. I air dry the blends. Sometimes I put the blend over an open fire (low heat) in my outdoor fireplace to do some drying, add a smokey flavor.

I enjoy my blends immensely, but find I do get white spots on my lips after smoking my own blends. Probably some kind of minor burn? Anyone else experience this? No tongue bite, just the lip burns - if that is what is its. Advice, comments?

Do they hurt? Do they go away if you stop smoking for a few days? Do they only happen with your own concoctions?

Are they smoking juicy where you’re getting lots of wetness from the stem on your lips?

I’ve had a sort of blister when I let tobacco juice sit on my lip overnight as I slept.

Have you tried brushing your teeth and washing your lips afterwards? Also try a natural mouthwash like “JÄSON” brand that contains aloe.

Mild irritations. Thankfully, not visible to the general public. Definitely white spots. I do not over-dry my blends, but they do not seem to me any dryer than a premium tin tobacco. They do go away after 3-4 day break. I smoke 1 bowl per night on average, but when I do take a few days off they disappear.

Definitely brush my teeth and clean up each night. Also, I typically smoke a pipe with a Bourbon on ice or Cognac on ice. You'd think that would cool things down instantly.

I was hoping someone else had this going on... hmmm. I'm "special".

Are you putting any products on your pipe stems?

Alcohol takes the protective coating from your mouth.. maybe the same for lips?

No products on the stems...

Nooooooo.... I can't put down my bourbon/cognac. Please doctor!

I sometimes have mild irritation of the inner side of the lips, but it's related to the way I smoke the pipe: the bit never gets beyond my teeth line:


I purse my lips when drawing from the pipe and when lighting it I do notice at times my lips getting 'hotter'.

Could be a mild allergic reaction?

 

[Humblepipe]

Maybe a kind of allergic reaction and not a burn. Hmmm.

Tobacco juice is a good guy.

That what I was thinking. I know some guys can’t tolerate the sulfur in old vulcanite especially if it’s oxidized. ?

How much of a hypocondriac are you?

If much, you might want to bypass this site: Nicotinic Stomatitis, Nicotine Stomatitis, Smoker's Palate, Smoker's Keratosis, Smoker's Patch - http://www.exodontia.info/Nicotinic_Stomatitis.html
Not saying that's your issue, but the site is poorly organised and the Home page doesn't list the oral pathologies, but you can see the list to the left on that link. Happy scaring yourself to death!
