Thanks for the reply !

Given that you are actually in school I can understand that you don't really want to start leaving your lips completely alone at the risk of they become very disgusting!

What is Hydrocortisone, is it a cream? Anyway I have decided to never touch whatever chemical again and just let my lips heal by their own, not by leaving the lips completely alone without getting in touch with any fluide but I just live in a normal way, or try at least, with no chemical at all.

I passed through your situation when I was still in school last year with a simply chapstick -anyway, all the creams, oitnments, act like chapstick, like whatever chemical- and like you I just was used to take off my flakes every morning before going to school, but I know that this is a vicious circle and the more you will use chemical, the more your lips will be damaged, unless you intend to live with lips chemical. I don't want, that's why I suddenly all stopped.

Like you, my big dilemma is to get cured for next September, to go back to school and live a life in a way so free than I can almost imagine after my wasted past two years, just with normal lips. If I wouldn't be, I really don't know what would happen to me!

I have just taken a look in your previous posts and I haven't found what may have triggered your condition, can you tell me, at least what you think it could have been?

Well, just for say -without discouraging you at all!- that I lived what you are living now and what I can say is that I regret having used chemicals but like you it was as if I was a bit obliged, "sit between two stools".

Anyway, I am 20, I think you have nearly the same age, and we both have to get cured for September!
