I use a combination of ProTopic and Hydrocortisone. However, I only use it after my lips peel. I try not to use it everyday. I use small amounts of blistex of vaseline to moisturize. I really don't know what theory to believe anymore! Please keep us posted on your progress with your new cream!! I've been battling this since I was 16 and now I'm 25!! Can't believe doctors cant figure it out!
