About the symptoms ...ssame as what I've been reading from you all,but not ever itching, just constantly peeling. It would fake me out sometimes I'd think it was THE LAST peel and sort of start to look like it would be fresh skin and then it would just start over again . Not alot of licking or biteing ,just constantly picking and pulling off one layer then the next on and on......I did get a little releif from A and D that comes in a tube and has cod liver oil in it so then I tryed cod liver oil to no avail but I still could get some soothing from the a&d, especially when it would peel into the new liveing flesh and cause bleeding. Oh ! how long ?...one day is to many... day after day after year after year...years and years , I lost count like my birthdays ha ha .One bit of info also about the l- Glutime that I thought was good is that its used for healing the stomach hmmmm ,my lips go there wow!!So look up l- g and tell me what you see ,good ...bad ,whatever. I am using at least 2000 mgs a day on an empty stomach which the bcalmed product recomended. Sorry I talk so much BYE
