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.
