Hi,

You have the same condition as me. I had it for one year. Have also seen countless derms but they cant seem to know the real cure.

From my research, i still believe its internal although now i also havent found any cure. I believe its some form of allergy/nutritional deficiency caused by leaky gut and candida. Do you have any cravings for sweet foods?

Of course those are my own opinion.

Hi!

Not sure if I have any good suggestions, but I also recently had a weird thing happen with my lips. It was either an allergic reaction to some cream I put on the outside of my lips (because they were feeling especially dry) or if I might have gotten a bacterial infection (staph). My baby, who has had eczema for about 3 mos. now, has a bacterial infection on his cheeks and I purposely don't kiss his cheeks, but will kiss the sides of his face. Well sometimes he moves and when he does I sometimes get his weepiness on my lip area. I think this may have been what happened. The pediatrician said that could be. She told me to put a little neosporin on. I do think it helped overall, but I haven't used it for a few days. I do tend to use chapstick quite a bit also, but have been trying not to. My lips are doing much better, practically healed. Still not sure what it was exactly, but I thought I would share my experience. It all seemed to start with a dry, itchy, burning feeling. I knew something wasn't right when I saw what looked like contact dermatitis (all red...like a burn) along the edge of my upper lip.
Another thing to think about is that I read about 30% of people with eczema have an allergy or sensitivity to neomycin (an ingredient in neosporin) and I think a lady on the website (eczema.net?) said that she had a reaction to the neosporin a week later. So that's something to keep in mind. (THAT... and a possible bacterial infection?)
Hoping this might help in some way. God bless!

Hi everyone....I had the dry lip syndrome for so long and now its completely gone that I can actually type this message with a smile that doesn't hurt! Let me tell you, I not only had dry lips that peeled all the time, but it was so dry above my upper lip that over time started to discolor the skin so badly that it actually looked like a moustache. It was really horrible and I had to cover it with heavy make up anytime I would go out. So I actually had 2 problems to solve! How did I do it? Well, I first learned how to clean out my bowels #1!! Then I learned about high nutrition to properly nurish my body #2 Then, #3, I found 2 products for my face that completely cleared up my dry lips as well as evened out the skin tone above my lips. Was I elated? You better believe it and I am only too happy to tell you what I use (and will ONLY USE for the rest of my life!!) The first is what they call a "non-soap" cleanser and it is gentle enough for babies (for those who have little ones with the dry skin or eczema) and actually starts the moisturizatiion process. Its great and is fragrance free too. The second product I use is their face & neck cream and yep! I put this cream right on top of my lips and they suck the cream up. It keeps them soft for hours along with the rest of my face which now has even skin tone....no more moustache. Their site info says that it does all this because the products can actually penetrate the 7 layers of skin (didn't know that before) and doesn't just sit on top. Anyway, you can look up the Aim 2 Health company on line and find their site. Also they give lots of helpful information so you can make your own decision. Here's hoping this helps.....all the best to you all!!!
