I actually started using Protopic again yesterday. I saw it in my drawer and I havent used it since my lips were still crusting up, so I figured Id give it another try, since I only really tried it for about a week back then. I remember stopping it because it made my lips sting like hell and made them look more inflamed.
Since Ive started using it yesterday on my lips (which are not in a much better state now than they were when I first tried Protopic) I have not had that stinging sensation and it does not make them look more inflamed. So there must be something different going on. So Im gonna give Protopic a try just for the hell of it, since I never really tried it for longer than a week.
