Cut on Upper Lip

Hello,

Two days ago I discovered a little cut on my upper lip, slightly to the left side of the lip. It is a little itchy and dry. I was wandering, is this a serious issue? What can I do to cure the cut?

Will do, thanks a lot for the help. I was just worried because it feels a little itchy and is dry so I thought it would be something serious. But thanks again.

That's ok,from experience it will heal very quickly,just don't eat any spicy foods for a few days.

Oh sorry about that, I didn't know that the question would show up in the HIV risk section.

What has that got to do with an HIV risk?? The cut will heal itself.
