Answers:
u r full of ****, i think u should go see a doctor about your head and never mind dthe vaseline
it stops itching
Were you ever seen by a doctor about this depression/hypochondria? Trust me, if you had cancer cells in your body, pinching it closed would not stop it. It would have already spread around your face if it was going to.

Vaseline does help chapped lips, it makes it stop hurting and bleeding, and it makes them softer. It also makes the dry skin on the lips able to be rubbed off painlessly, try it.
don't pinch your lips, its bad for them, when they get cracked just use some Lip Balm or Vaseline
You should probably see a dermatologist about your lip. They may have an ointment or medication that will take care of whatever is happening. Vaseline will only make it feel better for a moment, then it will dry out again.
The fact that you are so worried about it turning into cancer and that you keep making it bleed to prevent that sounds like OCD. Talk to your doctor. There are meds for it now and they are very effective. Good luck.
Loosens up your chapped, cracked lips and makes them soft.

Don't pinch your lips. Try to get out of that bad habit. Use chap stick or something every time you are going to do this !!
I dont know if u have the same prob as me. I also make my lips bleed sometimes but I dont pinch, I pick the dry flaky skin off and if i do it too much I bleed. I always use vaseline on them in fact i have it under my pillow so i can use it in the middle of the night if i need to. It doesnt really make a lot of difference though I still always end up picking them anyway.
