They can be quite painful. They feel like a combination of a fat lip like you get if you get hit on the lip, and the worst chapped lips you ever had, plus a burn on top of it all. When you smile it can make them crack open and hurt more. They can ooze and feel like blisters.

They're like blisters on your lip. They are filled with fluid sometimes and can be tingly or itchy but mostly they are just painful and annoying.
