I had this for 30 years, my dermatologist gave me protopic 0,1 (apply during the night and aquafor the day), and it is almost gone!
This morning I woke up determined to rid myself of this thing... I have been using sugar and honey paste for the last two or three days ( 1tspoon sugar mixed in 1tspoon honey, with your finger just scrub it gently on your lips in circle motion ) so today I went into the shower and let the water ( hot but not burning water ) hit my lips for like 10 minutes then when I went out I used my suager/honey paste and scrubbed my lips with it, the skin starting coming out of the lips but it didn't fall off... It almost felt like if I wanted the flakes to fall off I had to pull at them ( which you should never do because it will ruin the skin and might start bleeding ) so I was like alright I'll just live with it like thos for today and try again tomorrow ( my lips literally had pieces of skin just dangling off of it like long pieces just sitting there, it looked bad ) so I decided to put some olive oil on my lips to perhaps hide the skin at least ( I thought it may make the skin moist and it would hide the pieces a bit ) but instead when I scrubbed my lips ( circle motions especially on the pieces of skin ) it started coming out, it took my like 20 minutes of scrubbing to get all the skin off and now my lips look nice! All thanks to God :D
I am looking forward to check progress on this and see what to do if the pieces come growing back up xD
You have systemic Candida.
Research the treatments.
Niacin/Niacinamide and Taurine also kill Candida.
Nutritic Lip Treatment Balm helped me after suffering with severe scaling lips for almost 4 months following an allergic reaction to canned meats. scaling is gone after 1 month use although my lips still feel tender
I had the same problem. I used vitamin supplements. (A,B and C) and I stay hydrated. I also used honey for my lips and i didn't use any cosmetics. Just non-fragranced jelly when I had to leave the house. I also use sun screen to protect them from the sun and I stayed away from citrus fruits when my lips were peeling. Now I'm all better. I don't use harsh lip balms and i maintain a healthy diet. I hope one of those methods help.
