hi all :) i do respect those of u who are saying u had this and have managed to cure, but... for many of us, simply wetting the lips and applying a run of the mill lip balm does not help, it doesn't keep the skin from keratinizing/getting hard and for me, i know once i start to feel it get hard like that (and i have yet to find a product, applied on freshly peeled lips, that would help keep it from coming in like that) it's only a matter of time before it peels off again... :(
i have currently been using a very expensive lip balm and it's the only one that makes a liiiiittle difference but i have to apply it so often that it's almost impossible to stave off the cycle, so i'll keep trying things and if i ever find anything that helps i'll post here!
