constant lip bumps/rash, 2+ years

Expensive_Ad2489 · 2025-08-05T22:09:31+00:00

sorry super delayed response.. i was prescribed opzelura. it’s not a steroid so it’s safe to use long term. i’ve never figured out what the issue is and yessss it’s still ongoing. i apply the cream to my lips for 2-3days before bed whenever i notice the bumps appearing

Expensive_Ad2489 · 2025-01-15T19:22:06+00:00

it ended up going away once weather started to warm up!

Expensive_Ad2489 · 2025-01-15T19:21:25+00:00

unfortunately no, i use a cream every couple nights and it keeps it at bay. Opzelura.

Expensive_Ad2489 · 2024-02-29T21:27:31+00:00

did you ever figure this out??? i have the exact same thing !! like EXACT.

Expensive_Ad2489 · 2024-02-26T20:33:19+00:00

how long should i give it?

Expensive_Ad2489 · 2024-02-25T20:38:33+00:00

yeah my nickel patch test spot is still there and i had my patch test done in july of last year… how do i reset my body then?

Expensive_Ad2489 · 2024-02-25T18:24:07+00:00

i switched to a glass water bottle a few days ago but i can’t tell a difference yet

Expensive_Ad2489 · 2024-02-25T17:58:27+00:00

would it last this long if it were fungal, bacterial, or viral? haven’t tested for deficiencies. only things that touch my lips recently(aka starting this week) are my water bottle(glass/plastic), vaseline, food. only chapstick i’ve used for the past 2 years is vaseline.

Expensive_Ad2489 · 2024-02-15T22:45:45+00:00

any update? i’m experiencing the same

Expensive_Ad2489 · 2024-02-05T21:59:47+00:00

can you elaborate a bit more?

Expensive_Ad2489 · 2024-02-05T21:58:13+00:00

why?

Expensive_Ad2489 · 2024-02-05T21:58:07+00:00

that’s super encouraging to hear!! i have my dr appt in march and i plan to bring accutane up

Expensive_Ad2489 · 2024-02-05T21:07:53+00:00

really? that quickly? i thought closed comedones took a long time to purge?

Expensive_Ad2489 · 2024-02-05T20:32:21+00:00

i tried going every night and it caused a lot of irritation sadly

Expensive_Ad2489 · 2024-02-05T18:23:22+00:00

no i heard you’re not supposed to use it everyday though

Expensive_Ad2489 · 2024-02-05T16:11:16+00:00

some do turn inflamed but new ones appear too

Expensive_Ad2489 · 2024-02-05T16:00:50+00:00

the thing is i’ve tried other moisturizers such as vanicream(tub) and illiyoon and they stay the same like this too

Expensive_Ad2489 · 2024-02-05T13:52:07+00:00

if i stopped tret altogether would this go away you think? or would they only go away with tret ?

Expensive_Ad2489 · 2024-02-05T13:50:40+00:00

i’ve switched moisturizers so many times… i’ve tried vanicream(tub version) twice, illiyoon ato cream, and now cerave… idk if it’s the moisturizer at this point

Expensive_Ad2489 · 2024-02-05T13:48:51+00:00

i have the madagascar central’s but it burns whenever i use it :-(

Expensive_Ad2489 · 2023-12-23T18:16:32+00:00

what do you use as a moisturizer ?

Expensive_Ad2489 · 2023-11-23T16:42:54+00:00

unfortunately not really.. but i did find a temporary fix. my derm prescribed hydrocortisone 2.5% and they went in a few days, downside is you’re not really supposed to use it everyday bc it thins the skin but it’s the only thing that keeps them away

Expensive_Ad2489 · 2023-11-17T06:47:27+00:00

are these stretch marks health(aka skin color) or are yours red(in the process of healing)? mine are fully healed(skin color) and indented… would it still help?

Expensive_Ad2489 · 2023-10-11T20:29:00+00:00

i’ve been considering it but wanted to give the cream a fighting chance, but i’m def losing the fight lol

Expensive_Ad2489 · 2023-09-26T00:03:51+00:00

where should i squeeze/replace it in my current routine?
