Around 2 months ago I was taking Medrol (methylprednisolone) is that kind of the same thing? I took it for like a month, like 24 mg a day. It kind of seemed like my lips were getting better (but still not healed) After I stopped using it, after a week or 2, my lips just went back to the way it has always been. Though I have to say that I was taking it when I had school so I had to peel the skin off my lips every week so that probably made my lips worse.. can't really say if the medrol would if worked if I left my lips alone, it seems like another one of those things that help temporarily, then when you stop using it, EC comes back.
