remember we discussed the reason, it is because i still have inflammation so i need to get rid of the inflammation before i start using the melatonin drops. were your lips raw when you used the drops?

what are your lips like now? are they raw with no overgrowing skin? or are they healed with no overgrowing skin??

im guessing you have healed skin on your lips but very thin and fragile.

your next step is obvious, its the final step, you just need to find something that strengthen and heals skin "simple".

"Am i the only one experiencing the skin not overgrowing with this treatment? What exactly happened to your lips when you put on the liquid melatonin drops?"

Okay, I have used the Melatonin drops for two full days, today will be my third day. I had peeled my lips the day before I started using the drops. However, my skin is never completely raw, because as the outer layer is peeling, the layer underneath it is already beginning to die/peel. So I'm not sure how I could apply the drops effectively, unless I ripped off my skin and applied it... It's still too early to tell whether my skin has stopped overgrowing or not since my peeling cycle is around 4-5 days, but usually by this day they start to peel.

I noticed that I originally had a semi-loose piece of skin at the top middle of my lips, but it seemed to have merged with my lips. Not sure if that is good or bad, since it was dead skin... When I press my lips together I can still feel a slight bit of air in between the outer most layer and the lips. When the lips are in contact with water, they still turn white. So I'm pretty sure the top layer is dead.

That's what I think too. I think you should just leave them alone man, let them do their thing. With psoriasis, the treatments aim to lengthen the skin turnover rate to the normal time. They don't try to stop the peeling altogether. Your lips are supposed to peel. They are even supposed to peel faster than the other skin on your body. Just not this fast. I think you've found something good for yourself. I'm going to try the melatonin as well. I'm also taking it 1mg in the morn and 3mg in the eve. and seeing how that works.

There is this awesome looking cream I found called "Psoriagold". Here is the download for the brochure:

"http://psoriagold.com/site/download.php?4903411dc7ab539f542855f076a06e98&hashID=36361c494f5fe14fd768bfcbc51225f3"

It uses the active ingredient in turmeric, curcumin, as suggested by ahr and dr. ali.

It looks really promising but it is $89.95. Knowing me I could talk myself into buying it though, so we'll see. I sent them an e-mail explaining my problem and asking if it was safe to use on the lips. We'll see what they say. The before and after pictures are awesome!

this sounds exactly what you need: Grapefruit Seed Extract For Skin Ailments

Please give it some time....
If melatonin works then keep taking. If you are not totally healed after 3-4 3ks you can then try adding things. What you dont want to do is counter the affect of melatonin with something that may cause inflamation.
So patience is key.

I haven't got any classic signs of inflammation.. such as red, swelling, itching etc. I used to when i first got this, over the years its just been the growing skin problem. I don't think the Vit C has anything to do with the inflammation. I have no idea of knowing if there is underlying inflammation without a biopsy, but i'm not doing that.

I purchased some grapefruit seed extract a while back but never tried applying it to the lips. I had read somewhere that somebody cured themselves with a grapefruit seed extract spray that they sprayed on their lips. Another person tried it, and their lips became inflammed, but they may have used too much. I have not tried applying it to the lips, but I add a few drops in water because of it's highly alkaline properties.

Skin seems fragile but it isn't dead. If i left it on this amount of time before, it would be yellow, crusty, overgrowing etc. The skin is formed but underneath it is repairing, the connection is weak. It isn't fully recovered... until that protective barrier is repaired and strong. It's difficult because i don't know how exactly it heals. If i would guess, i'd say it will heal like a scab because it's recovering from being raw and raw is the equivalent to an open wound.
