Please be reassured that you do not have to use Elocon (mometasone furoate) forever. In fact, using a strong steroid like mometasone furoate long-term on your delicate lips can actually cause your symptoms to rebound and flare up when you stop. While there may not be a quick 'permanent cure,' this condition can be successfully managed. I highly recommend seeing a dermatologist. They can help identify underlying triggers, such as allergies, and transition you to safer, non-steroidal protective ointments to help your lips heal safely and comfortably.
