Hi, I have infected chapped lips and I am on antibiotics. How can I remove the pus and scabbing least painfully.

Use this solution to remove all the pus and loose scabs. (Don't use hydrogen peroxide because it is a weak germ-killer.) Your healthcare provider may give you a syringe to help wash out the wound. Continue soaking the wound 3 times a day until it looks clear of infection.
