red around the outline of lips,chap like then peel, they pulse sting then it starts all over. I dont have herpes symplex. Ive tried the apple cider vinegar and other home remedies. nothing seems to make it go away. Ive read other blogs with the same symptoms no one seems to have the answer. they have been to reg md ,dermatologist, have taken antibiotics,fungal meds. it last forever and ever. dont know how it came about and dont know how to get rid of it.
