Hello

So Dan msg'ed me and apparently some weirdo has been making things up about me, just saying hello to let you guys know I'm okay.

I was having major success with leaving the skin on my lips and applying coconut oil when I was going to be using my lips to talk heaps. I even began to use Aquaphor sparingly and it didn't seem to make the skin come off prematurely. It really helped.

I wish I'd just kept going..... but I became impatient. I tired a steroid cream called Fatty Ointment which is a corticosteroid. My dermatologist insisted it would work.

I applied it for 5 days and had to stop. My lips turned to white mush on the top layer. Drinking water would 'wash' the skin off my lips. For the first time in ages my lips were majorly sore, raw and red. They were also swollen and I bit the inside of my lip when eating because of the swelling.

So I stopped...... and then just like back in the early days my lips built up. They haven't gone back to the way they used to be but they are the worst they have been in 6 months.

So it was a bad decision for me to try this. Now that I know I'm just going to go back to light moisturizing and leaving the skin on.
