    I'd mix it up with portions a little bit, they tend to be a bit easier on your gums.

      Yeah, I find portions less harsh on my gums too (originals more gentle than whites) but some find the opposite and los is better for them. I guess it's what works for you.

      I alternate between top left, middle and right to try and help my gums. Interestingly I've always found the nic hit more intense top middle.

        Some soreness might be normal, but sores I don't think are a normal reaction. You might be better off putting your snus on hold until you heal up. Also, that's probably good advice on using portions. Strictly my non-expert opinion.

        Seems like a good time to switch into snuff taking.

          Fascinating... I alternate also, but do recall ever having tried the top middle - if it is more intense, then perhaps I can save the 8 MG portions for the top middle. :idea:

            Starwing - Do let me know what you think about top middle, would be interested.

              With los it's easy to use a lot, and if you haven't stretched your lip with porton use beforehand it will hurt abit more.

              I don'tfind los any harder on my gums though.

                paul are you using one brand in particular? It may be that you are having a reaction to the flavoring or characteristics of one certain snus.

                change it up. Try a few other brands.

                I've never had an open sore from snus. Do you snus non-stop? Try using skruf stark to get a nic jolt and then give yourself a break.

                The salt is certainly drying out the tissue that it touches a bit. Stay hydrated dude.

                I recommend letting your lip heal up, buying different brands, and having a sterk snus in for less time.

                  Hydrogen peroxide is very effective for treating gum irritation. You can get a bottle for less than ninety cents at most drug or grocery stores. I would put a a few small drops in a cup of water and swoosh the fluids around the irritated area. You will notice relief very quickly. Good luck!
