I would just like to say that for just two days I've been using a 1% HC cream mixed with an anti-fungal called Clotrimaderm. My lips have never felt or looked this good in months.
I know that everyone is in different stages of this dreadful condition, but I think the real cure for this, and for any skin condition for that matter, is HC cream or ointment, constant moisturizing, a balanced diet, a stress-free environment and TIME. I'm sure we all have our preferences so I won't recommend one brand over another; every emollient will work for us differently. Obviously this 'treatment' will work best if done without the crusts, but if you still have them on your lips, I would just leave them be and moisturize over top of them until they come off.
I'm pretty sure that it's the HC and not the anti-fungal working here. But if I do have some sort of fungus or infection I guess I'm killing two birds with one stone.
This is almost exactly the same as what MikePylon did to be fully cured and I'm hoping that by doing something similar to what he did, that I too will be cured in about a month.
If you want any chance of successfully treating this condition, I would do what has been proven to work.
Cheers,
Mike
