My face has been itchy, red, irritating, and very tight around my mouth. This started last week when the right corner of my mouth developed a cold sore. I kept putting vaseline on that area and that spread down to the other side of my mouth and chin. Now the entire area has the irriatating, itchy, tight, red feeling. I can barely open my mouth. If I do not put water on it, the corners of my mouth seems to be glued shut! I cannot open my mouth wide enough to eat. I can only open it as wide as a french fry. I am worried that even after the antibiotics and medication I am prescribed to use, I will not be able to open and smile like I use to. I am not even sure these prescriptions will work! Only seems to be getting worse! I cannot sleep at night without having to wake up and try to open my mouth, but by doing that, my skin cracks because of my tight and dry skin. Should I stop using the ointment and pill I was prescribed to use?

Its a great headache to those who have bad skin. But the nature of skin normally doesn't get bad. Always it's a side effect of some chemicals or any other agent which are existing in environment. Its better to follow alternative therapies to recover the original skin of yours. When going the alternative medicine route one is often left to research and experiment to find the right products and resources. Here is a new site that is beginning to gather all the resources in one place.
