    I have the same problem. Try putting neosporin on when you go to sleep at night. It helps heal them.

    I was on Accutane for 5 months, which is extremely drying. I used straight Vaseline on my lips and that really helped me out. Unfortunately, there is no cure-all. In the end, it was all worth it and I would do it again!

    I struggled with acne for years and I finally found the solution that works for me. We have been fooled, tricked, deceived, and just plain lied to. It’s time that someone put a stop to it, and everyone learn the truth!

    Those of us who suffer from acne have usually been given 2 choices and neither of them work:

    1. Over the counter remedies such as cleansers, creams, ointments, etc. These things have been proven over and over again not to work. Why? It does not address the root cause of the problem.

    2. Go see a doctor and or dermatologist. They will generally prescribe prescription drugs which include topicals and or antibiotics. This, too, has been proven over and over again not to work. Why? It does not address the root cause of the problem.

    I found a step-by-step program that cured my acne and it has never come back. It is amazing and doesn’t use any drugs or doctors. The truth is that acne can be cured…if we know the secret the doctors and drug companies don’t want us to know.

    There is a great website: that has all the details. I really suggest you check it out and see if it works as well for you as it did for me.
