Story

Occasionally my skin cracks on the sides of my mouth. I tried many healing balms, calendula, aloe vera, Neosporin, essential oils, CBD creams. I tried everything. I went to the dermatologist and he said it was Candida and prescribed a nystatin cream. This still did not work.

At the suggestion of my herbalist, I tried lemon balm and it worked. By the second day, the cracks were completely gone.
