I have had all the same problems that everyone of you described. I realized it is caused by gluten/wheat! I have NEVER had a gluten/wheat issue before. I have always been able to eat anything, until the age of 46. What a friend of mine who works in the health field and also studies natural medicine, said gluten builds up in you. Once I was completely off Gluten for two weeks, then I started to notice a difference. But, it takes a full 2-3+ weeks before it is gone. My doctor has me on a strong dose of B vitamins to try to help rebuild my stomach. I have not noticed a difference yet. Another friend has the same issue...and she confirmed for me it is gluten!
I have the same problem as yours, with red neck stripe. But no sinus and blotchy chest. Have dry throat in the morning.
I have noticed that, it occurs to me after extended sun exposure.
Coconut oil seems to help with the dryness. Haven't tried b12 yet.
Did u find any solutions yet??? Pls let me know if u found any.
It is at least comforting to know that I am not the only one who feels exactly this way. I have been experiencing the same symptoms for a couple years. My lips are read, the burn, feel dry, peel, crack in the corners, no visible sore, but visibily red and bothersome. Its so embarrassing when working with the public and with coworkers. I have been considering trying for FMLA for this issue since it serisouly effects how I interact with other people. I'm not sure what to do I have been to dermatologist, and all sorts of doctors and there has not been any real correction yet. Hopefully we can find something that works. Ill try some coconut oil today and for a couple days, keep ya updated.
I am having very similar issues. I have been to my Doctor, now to a dermatologist three times. First she took a culture for fungal, and that one has not come back yet. Next she took a bacterial culture and that was negative. All the creams she has given me to try, just burn or they just do nothing. I have a pink line around bottom lip, and it does not itch, but burns. I woke up this morning and the inside of my mouth is swollen from the corner going towards center of bottom lip. I was just beginning to think I was crazy. My doctor also has taken test for vitamin deficiency. No go. I just want them to find out what is causing this.
I just started having this problem. I believe stress among other things contributed. Anyway, two months of hell. A good friend recommended using coconut oil. LIFESAVER!
I've stopped all unnecessary drugs and supplements, and use extra virgin organic coconut oil on my lips. Heaven! I would recommend oil pulling for those with inner mouth awfulness going on.
This is interesting. For 2 1/2 years now I have had this issue. It comes and goes. For a while it was gone for about 6 weeks and then would come back for about 2 weeks. The current bout I have had for about a month and it has not gone away. I have asked FOUR doctors (2 were dermatologists) about it, but was told I had chapped lips. Most recent doctor told me to try more magnesium in my diet. I tried that and nothing seems to be changing. I have also tried antibiotic and anti fugal cream to no avail. The only comforting thing is that others have this as well--if that can be deemed to be comforting. I am going to try the B12 next.
