Gum/lip irritation

[halocog]

Hello. I've been snusing for a couple of years now, and recently I've been using Jakobsson's classic strong portion. I've been using it almost exclusively on the left side. Over the past 2 days or so, my lip and gums have gotten pretty irritated to it. It's mostly a burning and kinda looks like "gator lip". The problem with switching sides is that the right side doesn't feel right and drips very quickly. I guess it's because it isn't really stretched or something.

My question is: what do I do in this situation?

you see an ENT doctor if that problem persists

it's not normal for a problem to persist in your oral cavity

Switch sides is about all you can do. Also move it around while snusing. Get used to the drip, and it'll treat you well. You could also try a non-stark snus. Jakobsson's strong may have a higher ph which would be harder on your gums.

I'm thinking it's that, General white portion and Skoal didn't really give me any irritation.

halocog, dip is another story

dip truly did give me sores and quite big ones.... there's dipper that basically pull large chunks of dead skin from their lip after 20 - 30 years of using dip

How many portions do you do a day? Remove the source of irritation for a while, and let the lip return to normal state. And of course always switch the sides you snus on, like everyone here says. Let us know how it goes.

I don't think it's an issue of how many portions

I used to get irritation from one single portion, back when I started snusing (from one single portion I had a huge sore)

lxskllr, i can´t add any more in your explanation!

I also E-mailed halocog about the manner to explain a bit more of PH and impact of lip/PH/snus

Hey, do you mind sending that in English? Google Translate is terrible lol. I've switched sides for now and it seems to be okay. Thanks for all of the help everyone.

Also, I meant I was using Skoal snus. I think American dip is rancid lol. And to the person that asked how many portions I'm using, it's a lot. I find myself chain-snusing a lot. Usually a little over a half can a day.
