split lip
Cut on mouth
A split lip is a cut or crack in the lip, typically from impact, dry weather, or cold.
The term often implies injury from a punch or blow: He came home with a black eye and a split lip.
Split lips bleed freely due to the lip's blood supply and heal slowly because the mouth stays in constant motion.
