Re: Please help me guys

It sounds like you have what I have except I do not get crusty scabs. Did you mean to describe the crusts as thickened, dead skin build up since that is what I get instead of scabs. If that is what you meant, then we may have similar conditions. I believe inflammation inside my body is the cause for inflammation in lips. The moisturizing method might help others who have this condition from lip biting or picking, but I do not believe it will help me since inflammation in my body is a chronic condition. By the way, accutane causes inflammatory bowel disease.

I recommend getting these blood tests to start:

-Celiac Panel (It will show if you have inflammation in your intestines.)
-C Reactive Protein (It will show you have any inflammation in your body.)

My plan is to decrease inflammation in my intestines with an anti-inflammatory diet, but it takes a while to decrease inflammation from celiac disease. And my doctor said no inflammation may show in tests when you still have inflammation. Until then, I might try acupuncture (at spleen 6 acupuncture point) to decrease inflammation in body. It is helpful for inflammatory bowel disease. I could not get a consult until March, though. I think it costs about $100 per session. My insurance will cover it if it is done by a doctor who bills through a particular hospital. So, that is why I am waiting to see this one doctor.

I also want to try 0.5% timolol maleate gel on my lips. It has been used to decrease vascular hyperpermeability. The problem we need to correct or decrease is blood vessel permeability in our lips, which causes inflammation.
