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. The 19-year-old says a painful burn appeared on her bottom lip that she mistook for a cold sore and so put some healing cream on it, hoping that would solve it - only to burn it more the next day. Horrifying photos show how almost her entire bottom lip became covered in painful blisters and a large black scab. Ellie believes her lip filler may have exacerbated the problem by stretching out the skin on her lips and making them more prone to burning. She has now vowed to never forget to use SPF lip balm again and is warning others to remember areas they are prone to forgetting when applying sun lotion.
