Guest guest Posted May 3, 2002 Report Share Posted May 3, 2002 Hi Felicia and Pat, thanks for your suggestions. I will try the Arden stuff. I've been using Neosporin, Cruex, and an aloe-based lip balm, but the lower lip is STILL stubborn. Doctor is hoping it is just a slow resolution of surgery effects. He also has me on the Cruex (lomatril) in case it is a fungus. Skin between my nostrils and upper lip is red and itchy, but responds to medicinal creams temporarily. Wierd!! I'm over 4 months post-op now, and I'm hoping it will eventually resolve. > Hi Soiligirl. My lips have also been chapped. > Vaseline doesn't work. Creams with perfume hurt.

Guest guest Posted May 3, 2002 Report Share Posted May 3, 2002 Just a thought, but why not see a dermatologist, explain what's been going on, and let someone who specializes in skin problems figure out what's really going on? That might save you a bunch of grief and a bunch of money in the long run... Cammie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
