Liam has been licking his lips pretty much all the time for the last two weeks or so.

Mike does this on and off. Usually it starts when his lips are dry and then it becomes and obsession or stim. It gets so bad the whole area around his mouth will be red, sore, etc. Sometiems to his chin.
I have found as soon as he starts I put some sort of chapstick or something on it and it helps. First he hates the taste so he licks less and also it helps sooth what ever is bugging him. The early I catch it in the cycle the better.

How about plain petrolium jelly? Mike HATES the medicated kind as he swears it hurts and smells so I can never get that on him. But the vaseline is the one thing I can get on him and it works well and tastes pretty icky.
