Its like watering a really thirsty plant, it will go from dead and brown to life and green once you water it good. I saw huge improvment once i changed from lip licking to using water. The redness went away. I did advise not to use chapstick but now i think after you soak your lips to seal in thw water with burts bees   [End]

I am healed by hydrating my lips with water and stopped lip licking. Cup water in your hands under the sink for few minutes 4 times a day. Drink lots of water be sure to get the water on both lips. You are hydrating this way alot each day. I also seal in the water with burts bees. It really is the only way to heal lips.Dont leave the build up on remove it when possible. This is moist wound healing   [End]

so you found the cause but now you have to ”manage” it with zinc and vitamin a supplements everyday. I thought you didn’t want to manage it. there is another forum where a theory is vitamin A overdose is the cause of peeling lips from taking vitamin A supplements. also, how come all these people have been to doctors and specialists but none of them have said anything about zinc being the cause. I think you are doing a little too much research on web, give it up and just look for the natural cure which is water. but if you want to go 10 years without getting your lips wet that is up to you.

Its not internal dehydration i am talking about, its external. Im curious why dont you make a thread of your own describing exactly how you cured yourself because you said you are cured. Since all ec looks the same it should be the same cure for all. Were you a lip licker biter? Did you ever at any point avoid water contact for extended period of time? Maybe your cure will work for others but they need details. I know when i posted my cure at least a few people said it was working and they havnt ever been better. Let them try your way and see if it cures anyone.   [End]

i didn’t mean to get snappy on you longterm. I just don’t think this is related to a vitamin deficiency. I NEVER said I used aquaphor. I personally don’t like aquaphor or Vaseline. I only like berts bees lip balm to seal in the water. i never advised anyone to lick there lips. just because i said i used to i also said that you should never do it. there is lots of pages on vitamin deficiency on this forum and it has been tried many times by a lot of people. there is no pages on using water to heal this.   [End]

zinc deficiency? please. you cant be serious. anyone who listens to you should think twice. I actually think you should be banned for giving misinformation and nothing helpful. there is 300 pages on this forum and people have been trying vitamin deficiencys for decades with no result, still peeling lips. so just get over yourself. you are not a scientist or doctor and your silly tests to check for vitamin deficiencys is just dumb. and I never said I use anything other than water accept chapstick. but I did say that only water will work. you are supposed to hydrate your lips with water then ...

longterm, so you think avoiding water is more normal then getting your lips wet? I don’t understand you. so you are healed by not letting water touch your lips? or are you just not saying that you shower normally, and drink water normally, and even wash your face and wet your lips everyday but you don’t think that has anything to do with you being better. there is 300 pages on this forum and everything has been tried. all your vitamins from zinc to vitamin A to all the vitamin B’s. people have done candida cleanses and diets for monthes, tried everything. none of your claims work for anyon ...

danil miller tried desperately to leave the crusts on as long as possible, im not sure how long he went but I think it was 3 monthes or so. he avoided water during that time or anything touching his lips because he was scared. then he decided to use aquaphor every 15 minutes of everyday which alone without water will not work. I am pretty sure Daniel miller left out the fact that he was hydrating his lips with water through showers and such. most websites on chapped lips recommend that after you shower and get your lips really wet then to seal in the moisture with something like chapstick ...

I think its normal to hydrate your lips with water ervery day but that is just me. when I say to drink water, I mean the normal way of drinking water when you get your lips wet when you drink the water. not drinking water carefully to avoid water touching your lips or using a straw. as I said this is not internal problem. I didn’t know doctors advised to use a wet paper towel are you just making that up? if you are cured now how did you do it?   [End]

longterm, if you don’t drink water you will die. for some reason you think being weird is normal, and being normal is weird. your theory is that if you don’t have to drink water then you are cured but if you have to drink water then you are not cured fully. you also seem to always be coming up with insane theorys like you are a scientist. this condition has nothing to do with diet, internal or any scientific stuff you can come up with. you are just like all the doctors who are useless. you think applying a wet paper towel to your lips is normal and drinking water and washing your face and ...

Why would you use a paper towel ? Just hydrate your lips by getting them wet when you drink glasses of water, take showers and cupping water in your hands. Do it alot the more the better. Do not lick your lips. Its the only way to cure ec if you dont believe me then you   [End]

seeing how you have tried almost everything you can think of for however many years, do you think you have give my idea a shot for 1 week. I promise it wont do you any harm. I would like you to try this method then take a picture after 1 week and we will see the improvement. its a really simple method that worked for me. to start off get a nice tall glass of water and when you drink it make sure to saturate your lips with the water you can even compress your lips together with the water by pushing some of the water out of your mouth and onto your lips. do this a lot, and I mean a lot throu ...

can I ask you a question? are you avoiding water contact with your lips? are you leaving them dry to try and heal the ”scabs”. if so then before you try any cream or ointment the doctors try and give you I recommend soaking them in water a lot throughout the day everyday. don’t lick bite or pick at them just hydrate them with water under the sink, shower or while drinking water. the crusts will become really soft and just fall off naturally then they will not come back. but don’t stop hydrating them with water. I don’t understand why people will put all these weird creams oils and ointment ...

ecaccutane, sorry I don’t have any pictures I took when I had ec, even though I had it for over a decade. I don’t want to post any now pictures either but trust me I have beautiful lips now that are very healthy. when I did have this they would really only be inflamed after the crusts came off, usually by force, otherwise they would weld on to my lips. my diet is really good for the last year vegetables, salads, chicken, fish,steak,potatoes etc. and I also started taking omega 3 fish oil almost everyday. I got ec from obsessive lip licking and biting. I had a ocd disorder where I thought I ...

as soon as I started hydrating them a lot with water in the ways I described, they peeled very lightly and gently after about 3 days, then they havnt peeled since and its been about 3 months now. how are you doing? when I first started this my mentality was to not lick, bite or pick at them and to just hydrate them a lot with water, but I think I did use my tounge to get a little bit off after it was ready in about 3 days it just gently came off and ive been healed since.   [End]

doctor, what do you know about vitamin b7. I heard Accutane causes your body to stop producing this vitamin which it normal produces on its own. many people here believe there ec is related to them taking Accutane. I read vitamin b7 deficiency can cause peeling lips.   [End]

doctor, ive read peeling lips can be a result of a vitamin b2 deficiency. but I don’t think that is the problem with all these e.c sufferers. if you want to find the cure you need to ask a lot of questions about what they do. most of these people avoid water because there lips get mushy when wet. the actual cure is just simply hydrating with a lot of water to restore the hydration of the skin to its normal 100%. these peoples lips are so dehydrated from avoiding water for years it might take a couple weeks of constant soaking with glasses of water, cupping water in there hands under the si ...

hi Jason and calix, im glad you are both getting better using the hydration(moisture) method of soaking your lips in water a lot throughtout the day. please do not give up on this method because I know it worked for me. the way I see it is your lips without the water are at 0% hydration and dry and peeling, but if you constantly drink water and soak the water on your lips with showers, cupping water in your hands and soaking them and compressing the water while drinking glasses of water your lips will return to 100% hydration. I don’t want to give you any wrong information and im sure just ...

I think I answered most of your questions in my previous posts. I eat pretty healthy and have cut out most sugar from my diet. also if anyone is concerned about Accutane and its relation to peeling lips, Accutane decreases the bodys ability to absorb vitamin b7 also known as biotin, so this vitamin might also benefit, its for hair skin and nails. and biotin deficiency can result in peeling lips. just something I read. but anyways, hydrating the lips with glasses of water, showers, and the sink is what really cured me.   [End]

you don’t need to leave the dead skin on, it does nothing. if it comes off in the shower or while drinking water all the better and it will if you keep them well hydrated with water throughout the day. the skin on your lips will become more normal and waterproof without the dead skin it will restore I promise you. i don’t use any creams or Vaseline or lip balms, i don’t need too. i heard they just disrupt the natural cell death and rebirth cycle anyways. but if i am going to recommend anything i recommend burts bees lip balm choose your favorite flavor. i like the mango flavor. its the bes ...

hi skygirl, my lips would always get mushy when in contact with water and that is why I avoided water, I thought it was a scab and if I let it dry out without water it would heal. it is actually not a scab though and leaving them alone will never work trust me I have tried for many years leaving them alone dry without water contact. if the dead skin comes off in the shower it is a good thing, because its not a scab and just dead skin. so when the water takes off the dead skin all the better. the more water and moisture you give your lips the better, I drink at least 3 glasses of water a da ...

hello friends, I am healed now after many many years of suffering peeling lips. the reason I had peeling lips was because of dehydration. they would dry out and get crusty until I force peeled the crusts off. I would avoid water contact at all costs, I would drink water and liquids very carefully to avoid anything touching my lips. eventually I started licking my lips in desperation and I did this for a few years, but they never healed and would peel every few days. I did this for a few years because it was stopping the large crusts from forming that used to last weeks. but licking my lips ...
