Q: Itching facial lips

Two years ago, the cracks of my mouth split while I was yawning. I put Neosporin on them, but to no avail. In addition to further protect them, I started putting chapstick on my lips. And then suddenly, my lips started to itch terribly. Ever since then, I have been unable to rid myself of cracking, itching lips, that are slightly crusty and scaly. I also notice that if I look closely, I can see very, very tiny pimple-like dots on my lips. Also, if I press my lips together, I can feel a slight wetness, probably from a liquid emitted from the small dots. I have never had any sort of lip issue, nor have I ever been allergic to anything in my life. Since then, I saw the doctor once who prescribed me with some sort of steroid cream. She told me that if it went away with the use of the steroid cream, that meant I was allergic to something. The itching did indeed go away. So after I was done using the cream, all the symptoms returned. I have changed my face wash, lipsticks, makeup, toothpaste, anything I could possibly think of that possibly touches my lips. I have also changed what I put on my lips. I have used everything from Chapstick with Petroleum jelly, to just petroleum jelly, to natural lip balms without any petroleum jelly, olive oil, Lansinoh, benadryl cream, Lanacane, Hydrocortisone creams, etc. I have used nystatin because that was also what the doctor had prescribed thinking it could be a fungus. It has also been ruled out by the doctor that it could be a Vitamin B2 deficiency. The terrible itching continues so horribly that it wakes me in the middle of the night out of a dead sleep. I have also been to other doctors who are perplexed at my issue. I'm desperate for some answers! Could anyone possibly provide any insight as to what this could be?

HUmm.. sounds like a real problem.

i may have had that awhile back but only lasted a few days. If its bacterial, you could try colloidal silver.

Look for the only fda/epa approved colloidal silver on the market.

colloidal silver is the first antiviral out before penicillin was found. You can take it internally and externally. When antibiotics fail this is the only other remedy to fight bacterial and viral infections.

Did your problem every resolve? If so, how (what did you use or do). I seem to have the same problem now. Thanks.
