No, I haven't tried Vytone Cream and probably won't. I have a huge fear of steriod creams after what happened to me. Although you're probably right...if the vytone cream doesn't CURE in about a week then it's not the answer. I've tried hydorcortisone cream 1% and also Beclomethasone valerate .1% (a strong steriod cream) and they both worked miracles initially but when I stopped using them, my lips were worse than before.
