Re: Systemic steroids (recommended dosage)
You write:
"At the same time, I don't want to permanently damage myself."
If it is really true what you write, than you should not try the topical steroids. Period!
Actually, if you "don't want to permanently damage" your skin, you should not really waste your time with any topical anything.
If you want to use something topical, use things you would eat, like raw honey, virgin coconut oil, virgin olive oil, bees vax, or natural animal fat like pork fat or fat from other animals.
The main rule of health is: do not put on your skin, (and on your lips) anything you wouldn't eat.
To cure it, you have to work from the inside, where it all started.
You write: "got it from rubbing the good skin off of my lips repeatedly"
How wrong you are!
NOBODY gets EC from "rubbing the good skin off"
NOBODY gets eczema or dermatitis from "rubbing the good skin off"
NOBODY gets
Psoriasis from "rubbing the good skin off"
People keep "rubbing the good skin off" because they already have the problem, just they are unaware the problem is there in the first place.
It all starts with lips being dry, cracking, new skin growing, and the reason why you are "rubbing the good skin off" is because that is quite normal thing to do with our skin when there is a layer of dead skin over.
It is natural to "rubb the good skin off" and all the people are doing it all the time, and they don't get EC, or Eczema or
Psoriasis from it.
EC does not start from outside.
It is just a manifestation of the internal problem.
Once you start peeling your "good skin off", you already have a mild case of EC, just you are blessly unaware of it.
You become aware once you stop rubbing it off, and once you can see the skin building up.
And you think I got EC from rubbing the skin.
Just as you would not try to fix the red light on the dash board of your car by cuttig the wire leading to the red light, so you should not use the steroid creams to cut the red light on the dash board of your own body.
It is not going to fix the real problem, even if you manage to switch-off the light.
You need to heal your digestive tract, and your liver, and your pancreas.
If I were you I would not WASTE my preccious time with corticosteroids. Instead I would spend 8 hours every day day researching books, web pages and forums discussing

Your problem EC appeared as a consequence of you neglecting the health of your inner body.
Your problem EC can not be fixed by continuing to neglect the health of your inner body!
