      Hi, Protopic is non-steriod and is used for eczema around the lips and eyelids and other sensitive parts of the body where the skin is thin. It is costlier - think I paid $65 for a tiny tube - and must be prescribed by a doctor.


      Since it’s recurring, you need to find the trigger - as you have been trying to do. I can only think of two possibilities besides food - he’s allergic to certain chemicals or ingredients in the lip balms, or he has a recurring low-grade infection that keeps flaring up, especially with the bleeding, or a combination of both factors.

          Thank you parents for the tips and reminders. Yes, it is very annoying to see DS keeps licking his lips. Has been constantly reminding him not to do so, but he totally ignores my advice. :frustrated: This evening, tried using pure olive oil , hope it improves the dryness, at least its edible!
