He is 17 - I don't think his is as bad as some of the pics I have seen - its not bad on the top - just the triangle mainly. And the bottem seems to be kind of a line across the middle of his lip - not the whole lip. I can understand your frustration though - he doesn't go anywhere this summer - and it bothers me - I feel like I live with Howard Hughes! I think it may just spontaneously go away but you never know when that will be. In the meantime I guess we keep trying things - we live in Phoenix AZ and the Southwest College of Naturopathic Medicine is here - I am contacting them to see if maybe they could use him as a kind of case study. I would think it would be interesting for students to try and figure out - its something you would think would cure easily - but it doesn't!
Whatever your decision - I wish you luck! I know its hard to live with for sure!
