Have you gone to an allergist? I have been dealing with peeling chapped lips for years. Just a few weeks ago, I finally decided to go to an allergist. Turns out I’m suffering from an oral allergy syndrome, where most of the vegetables and fruit I was eating was causing allergic reactions that manifested in my lips. It was a rather difficult transition at first because I found out I was allergic to simple things like potatoes and corn and on top of that I had the cross reactions to many vegetables and fruits. I was a vegetarian, so obviously my diet had to change dramatically. I’m not ...

I let the skin grow for several days until it peeled off on it’s own. I still do not use any medication. It also seems that any chapstick but blistex is okay. My lips have not grown the hard skin in three days. They have peeled sparingly and in small pieces. I’ve been drinking lemon water for days. It’s been over fifteen days of drinking lemon water. I’m still using the castor oil on my lips throughout the day and at night. I think I’m going to stick with the method. I must also add that over the weekend, about 4 or 5 days ago, I was out in the sun for a while playing sports. I d ...

Well, I guess I shouldn’t have gotten my hopes up. The diet didn’t help as much as I thought it would. What seems to be helping the most is the peroxide/baking soda brushing. My lips are peeling in spots. The skin that isn’t peeling is very hard and tight. Sometimes it’s hard to smile. I’ve tried putting lemon juice on them but I’m not sure if it is helping. I’m also drinking lemon juice, but am still looking for results. I apply castor oil too. The spots that do peel are growing the same hard skin. It’s odd to see two layers of hardened skin over such a small area. All of the i ...

Hi, I have great news! Well, let me address your question first. Sometimes I crave sugary foods, but as of late I’m seriously trying the no-gluten diet. I’m not longer using any medication or chapsticks, lip balms, etc. I quit brushing with toothpaste and now opt for peroxide rinse and baking soda brushing. I picked up the ideas from searching all over this site. I agree with you. I think it is internal. Matter-of-fact, I’m positive it’s internal and an allergy. I’ve only been on my new plan since the middle of Thursday, but my lips haven’t peeled since starting it. They hav ...

Hi Everyone, I’m having a horrible time with eczema on my lips. It’s mostly the top half of my bottom lip and the tip of my upper lip. I’m gone to multiple doctors and have hit a brick wall. Everytime I’m given something new, it works for the first ten days or so, then the peeling and flaking begins again. I’m currently trying Protopic twice a day but it does nothing. This all started whne I was about 13 years old and was given a tube of Blistex that had lip color in it. My lips began peeling but I didn’t know any better so I kept using it. I quit using it after the tube was gone ...
