How do you cure DERMATITIS PLEASE HELP!!!

[shaybaby2010]

Well on my upper lip not my lip but my upper lip i got raw flaky red skin i had it for about 9 months now,
I tried everything too heal it and it seems like nothing works?
Even topical gel,When i take a shower it gets dry real fast.
All i can do is use moisturizer too help it.
When my skin heals it cracks and falls off,
It does the same routine every time for the past 7 months.
I went too the dermatology and they said i have DERMATITIS,
And he gave me some cream it DOES not work at the...
IS there anything i do too get my skin too heal?
so it can be back too normal.

CAN SOMEONE HELP ME?

Hi,  i had the same problem for about 1 year. I was sent to a naturopath who cured it.
It turns out I had high toxicity in my body. There are three main causes (there are many more)
-poor digestion
- eating, breathing and drinking chemical toxins
- Not being able to eliminate the toxins

I used to be bulimic which in turn caused problems for my stomach which built up toxicity in me. To get rid of it you need to detox. When detoxing you will find you lip gets much worse in this period but after the detox it will clear up.

I tired taking the Vitamin B12 and iron  supplements but to no avail as my stomach was poor at breaking down the food for assimilation into the cells.

Hope this helps. It fixed me. DETOX!!!!!!!!!

Hi,

This could be a part of Cheilitis, which is a medical condition involving inflammation of the lip. Or a bad case of Chapped lips , a condition whereby the lips become dry and possibly cracked. It may be caused by the evaporation of moisture.

Lip balm can often provide temporary relief, though it should not be used extensively.  One should avoid licking their lips as saliva contains the enzyme amylase, which can damage the already compromised lip tissue.
Honey can be used on the lips as a natural remedy.


Cheilitis is associated with many conditions from Vitamin B12 deficiency, iron deficiency anemia, be a symptom of allergies.can also be caused by taking the (retinoid) drug Isotretinoin (brand name Roaccutane).

Applying protective paraffin-based ointment (such as Vaseline) or lip balms to the lips is normally very effective. Also take Vitamin B supplements.

If nothing works you can have a biopsy done to find out the cause.

Some causes of the symptoms you mention, could be lip biting, lip licking, Vit.B2 deficiency, smoking, overexposure to sun and ill fitting dentures. In extreme cases, this could be due to bacterial or fungal skin infection.

You need to drink plenty of water daily – around 1.5 – 3 litres per day and eat a balanced diet. Do not keep your lips dry; apply lip balm which contains sunscreen – preferably a medicated one.

If the symptoms still persist, consult your skin specialist or dermatologist.

Let us know about how you are doing and if you have any other doubts.

Regards.
