This solution changed my life and I hope it can help others too. I suffered with constant chronic impetigo outbreaks on my lips for about 5 years, from 2018 to the end of 2023. Once or twice a month, every. single. month. It seems that I got it due to also starting to experience exfoliative cheilitis on my lips about 6 months before the impetigo. At first it was very bad and though it's never been that bad again, I get a little bit of peeling here and there and it seems to have permanently disrupted the barrier of my lips such that the impetigo/staph bacteria can get into the skin.
Anyway, it was so painful and embarrassing... I used antibiotic cream which would get rid of it in about a week or so but in the meantime there was always the painful scabs and bleeding. And if I didn't catch it in time it could get quite bad. The only thing I found that staved it off from happening quite so often was taking oregano oil pills. I would take them for about a week and then I might have one or two months of respite from the impetigo. But you're not supposed to constantly take oregano oil so it didn't seem like a permanent solution.
Finally, at the very end of 2023, I did a course of 3 weeks of MMS drops. Where you mix 3 drops from each bottle to form chlorine dioxide then dilute it in water and drink it. Every single hour for 8 hours of the day, for 3 weeks straight. It was not pleasant. I don't like the smell of it at ALL. However plugging my nose while I drink it and having a chaser solved that problem and made it much more tolerable. I had taken it here and there before so I mostly didn't get any of the side effects thankfully. I think I vomited once in the very beginning and that was it. Totally fine besides that. (you start out with less than 3 drops and work up to that, but I was already fine with 3 drops)
And now here I am, over 8 months later, NOT ONE IMPETIGO OUTBREAK!! Not even one. It's completely gone! I'm so relieved and happy! I'm so grateful to have that horrible skin issue out of my life. I also use chlorine dioxide for other things but that's all I'll say here.
I hope this helps someone else out there! X
