Question : I fell on 2-5-11 and the lower lip remains open. It causes discomfort when eating, especially spicey foods. The lips are always scaly and unattractive. I have received prescriptions, etc. They don't stay on, of course. I am very upset about and to the end of my rope. What specialist should I see? HELP!
