Hi ManyGibbs,

I think you need to visit this website
http://www.kukorganics.co.uk


They explain why lips can dry out. Apparently using paraffin or mineral oil based lip balms will cause this. Anyway they sell organic lip balms that you could try. This is where I buy my Aloe & Marigold Healing Butter for my 2 year old son.

Worth a read me thinks.

Good luck.

Hi..I signed in to this page just to reply to y our post.I was having a bad time too.I tried using mustard oil.After washing face at night and drying.Just use 2-3 drops of mustard oil on your face rather than any lotion.It should moist your face so depending on that use the oil.Moreover it will give a burning sensation.but trust me just notice your skin after a week.

Hope it helps!

Hello..
I don't know if you are still on this website.?
But I Have Eczema.. unfortunately I get it all over my body, in different places.. at different times. Depending on the season/weather/ or something I wasn't supposed to eat. Ive had Eczema since I was a baby.. I used to have it REALLY bad on my lips and around them. It was so bad, I had some kind of red color all around my lips, looked liked punch. They were always dry or cracked and swollen. That cleared up after a few years.. but then for some reason I broke out with Warts around my lips were I had all that red stuff. I went to a dermatologist & they freezed them off. & gave me cream just in case I got itchy or anything like that. Everything was good for a long time.. im talking years.. my mouth was clear I had nothing. I knew I still had Eczema on other parts of my body but not on my lips.. (although I did have a dark rim aroumd my lips.. I still do? I don't know from what neither do mydermatologist do really.. they jus say that its probably from the rash I had around my lips?? ).. then about 2 years ago.. It started to come back on my lips.. not so bad Idont have a rash around it. But my lips get supper irrated & red & swollen. & the corners get a lil bit swollen.. but the skin on my lips spread out towars the corners of my lips & it looks funny I dont really know how to explain it. But it just spreads out from the corners of my & its embarrassing. Usually it goes away after I put my medicin.. but its been like tjos for about a week already. I just went to go see my dermatologist and got some neq medicine but doesnt seem to work?? Its so embarrassing I feel self conscious . Can you help please if ur still on here!? I also hate the fact that I have a dark rim around. My lips. I dindt rwally care back then but now that I am getting older and have a boyfriend it is embarrassing. I am 17 yrs old. & dont know what to do.. please help!?? Sorry for such a long comment...

I have the same problem and it will sometimes bleed and it prevent me from smiling and not opening my mouth because it hurts. The only thing that really works is Vaseline petroleum jelly. It works for me. Also watch what u eat that may trigger or prevent it from healing.jelly works use it as lipbalm they have it on small jar.if ur at home put as much . mine goes away but when I eat some certain food.. Even fruits. It goes back so I always have the petroleum jelly with me and it really help..

Change your toothpaste to a non fluoride one. Stop using all lip products and buy a lip balm with SPF 15 (no colour or flavour). I suffered for 1 year almost until my doctor sorted me out.

Buy Jamaican Black Castor Oil. I've had the same issue since I was a child. I finally got castor oil yesterday and it's the first product I've ever used that actually works for more than a couple of hours. Smith's Rosebud Salve is also a good product to seal in moisture. If it doesn't work for you (it's about $10 on amazon) you can use the oil for your hair. It's great to promote thickness/growth and is awesome for the rest of your skin/nails. Also take b-vitamins/iron/vitamin E and make sure you're drinking enough water every day. So far these have all worked amazingly well for me after years of testing out different products. Stay away from steroid creams!

I'm going through the same thing. It started off as Angular Cheilitis and after applying all of the creams to get rid of it, I'm left with eczema around and on my lips. I saw on you tube that a girl that suffered from eczema stayed taking shots of extra pure virgin olive oil. 3 tablespoons to be exact. I would suggest putting all 3 tablespoons in a cup and drinking it at once and having a glass of water or juice right after. Doing table spoon by table spoon is hard after the first.

I'm also drinking Chinese herbal tea to detox, eczema Is a way of your body trying to get rid of something toxic.

Clean your face with a soap free cleanser, I use Soy face cleanser by Fresh. I dab my lips dry with a clean paper towel and apply lubriderm, which stings at first or eucerin.

Best thing you can do:
