It has been three years since I've been off Accutane. While on it I had the usual dry lips, etc. But my lips have gotten worse. They hurt all the time - hurts to talk, laugh, drink. And they "shed" every other day or so. I've tried everything my derm has suggested. Been on all kinds of meds and treatments and nothing. I'm starting to worry that it will never go away. Derm says it's Cheilitis but has never seen a case where it's continued this long. We are at a loss. Anyone else have this? Know of any doctors, treatments, etc? TIA
I have read stories of people with long term chronic Cheilitis...David Chow the previous founder of Roaccutane Rag Forum suffered for years, What have your derms tried. Are you in the US or UK? There is a doctor in UK I think that has treated many Dr. Chu I believe. You can also look up in the pinned thread on something that helped another member on severe dry lips, though not sure if he suffered Cheilitis or just severe dry lips. Good Luck
