My lips have been peeling continuously for the past month. They are swollen, bruised, and feel like they're on fire. The upside is that apparently the lip color looks great on me. The down side is that they hurt. The tissue around the lips is cracked, and the corners are the worst. In the mornings, my lips (and surrounding damaged tissue) are covered with green stuff, and when I try to wipe it off, it feels like I'm peeling off live skin. It's difficult to eat, brush my teeth, and even talk. I've been keeping vitamin e on my lips, and I've tried Neosporin Lip Treatment, as well as other various chapsticks and lip balms, but everything burns when I put it on, including the vit. e.
I have already been to a derm about this, and he rx'd me a steroid pack, which I completed, but without much improvement.
Advice?
