1. Good diet - mostly protein, vegetables, fruit and only whole wheat products - taking pro-biotics
2. Was tested has a lot of environmental allergies - we did a total overhaul of his room with new latex mattress, air purifier - he changes sheets every 2 days.
3. Went to another doctor who gave him desonide for his lips is doing that
4. He has had the most luck with bepathen - leaving it on his lips all the time except when he is at class at college.
He has had this since 16 - he is 21 now - I think he got it from Acne drug which weakened his internal bacteria (its an antibiotic) and I think allergies may have worsened it.
