Exfoliative Chelitis(I have swolen lips, swolen glands in the lower lip, never ending peeling)


Im not sure if I have Exfoliative chelitis, but im really guessing i do! Ive been to doctor after doctor after doctor. Ive been to 2 different derms, A ears, nose, and throat doctor, The E.R, MY own doctor and no one can give me an answer. I even went to a plastic surgen which she refered me to get a biopsy which i will be having on WED and she also is sending me to a university to try to seek treatmeant. Ive also had an culture done but didnt get my results. Maybe i should call in and get them, but i was thinking that if something was wrong, they would of called me but still i havent received a call yet which its been over a month. Ive basically hid my self from my fam, my friends, and the world. I HATE IT. But i hate looking like this.

You may be wanting to know how it all started and my symptoms. So here it goes.( From what i remember one day i was eating seafood(lobster) and instantly, my lips swelled then i went to the doctor got some steroids(predisone) or i think thats how you spell it well during this period of swelling i would squeeze some type of ooze out of my lips which i probably shouldnt have. Well a couple days later the swelling went down but not all the way. I didnt let that bother me so i went on with life. WELL during all of this, i started using this hair die called (Beijing Hair Dye)after getting my hair cut to make it darker(just a better look) which i would never recommend for anyone. To cut this story short i got it about 2 times with no affect. So i never seen a problem, the third time i got it after a few hours my head started itching but i didnt think anything of it, so i scratched it, well i woke up the next day and my head was as big a a pumpkin, sore, with oozing funny smelling puss comeing out of it. it was also on my facial hair so imagine the pain. I dont know if any of this led to my E.C but im mentioning all possibilities. Well i stoped using the die. And i started smoking weed from a period of about 6 to 8 months. which i dont any more.

Well one day while smoking my friend had mentioned that my lips looked strange. Which made me start thinking about the little bit of swelling i had and i got very self-worried maybe leading to alot of stress. Every since that day i would constantly look at my lips worring about them. I also used to lick my lips alot i mean alot but never really had a problem because i used carmex daily on them. BUT ONE day i was playing basket ball and i didnt have any carmex on my lips that i can recall, but i remember my lips being reall dry, and i dont know what made me do this but i just started rubbing the skin off my lips with my shirt. and every since then 1/22/10 ive was never able to let me lips heal.

Things that happen to my lips well they turn white when in contact with any type of liquid, my spit, taking a shower, drinking water or whatever. Well if i try letting the skin just stay dry and never get wet all it does is just get thicker and thicker having stains from food i tried eating barley even letting them touch my lips. well after peeling that thick pile of crap off, i would notice some type of smelly ooze under it but it would go away or dry up afther its peeled. That only happen when trying to let the skin stay on for longer than 2 1/2 weeks. Well peeling within one to 2 weeks i really dont have the ooze part just raw lips that are red afterwards. And the lips repeat this cycle over and over. I HAVENT MENTIONED LIP BALMS because they dont work....all they seem to do is add and pile up on the crap that starts to grow. I just want to live life which i can, but its just sooo hard now with this issue. I MEAN, i wanna smile when i want to and not worry about my lips ripping apart and really revealing that i have this issue, i want to go swimming if i want to and not worry about my lips turning white. and peeling. I want to become social again. im tired of having a peel cycle, i just want this shit to end. WELL FOR the last 3 weeks ive been trying to diet hoping i could ease and eventually heal myself, but honestly i havent seen results. I was on the exfoliative chelitis diet, but after 2 weeks i didnt really see an improvement so i slipped and ate some pizza and chicken. But i felt bad and i immidiately got back on the diet well a week later, i was looking to see other possible reason to why my lips wont heal and i came across candida but im not sure if i have this. A reason why is because as i said i had that culture done. which if i did i woulda thought that my docs would have called me backed already. but they didnt so im not thinking i do. also, ive took the candida spit test but the first time i dont know if i did it right which cant be hard to mess up. WELL i tried it the second time again right when i woke up but this time i think i did it a bit different. I got alot of spit collected in my mouth but this time i took a some from the far back of my throat, i didnt force the spit up, but i used my tounge to gather it. Sounds weird but like u know how when u get a hocker or whatever some type of people call it its when you sniff some type of snot or whatever threw your nose then you spit it out threw your mouth....well i didnt do that but the spit that was in the back of my throat when i woke up was like this. Well back to the story i spit that into the cup and checked it 15 mins later. and it looked as the candida spit test photos did. strings hanging, cloudy, and sank to the bottom. But i also read that healthy people can fail this test so i dont know.

EXTRAS: My tounge appears a little white but not like the pictures i see on here with the thrus on the tounge in the mouth etc. I also have swollen gland in my lips. Then i may think that i do have candida though i havent got my results back because i read that you can get it from sex, which i have to admit i havent protected myself the best in life. Though i dont have hiv/aids herpes which ive gotten tested for std.s recently and neg. Ive caught chylimidia 2 times but have had it taken care of maybe not right away because i didnt know i had it. but as soon as i found out. I know that std.s can affect your insides so is this a posibility? Im just soo lost i dont know!

THINGS I AM AND WILL TRY: IVE READ ABOUT TAKING APPLE CIDER VINIGER FOR SKIN PROBLEMS, DETOXIFING ETC SO IM GIVING IT A SHOT. IM NOT ON MY 5TH DAY. NO CHANGE BUT I WILL CONTINUE IT BECAUSE ITS HEALTHY FOR YOU ANYWAY. IM GOING TO ORDER THIS MED CALLED THREELAC WHICH HELPS CURE CANDIDA. But if this isnt it. I really dont know what else to do. ANY HELP. PLEASE. (I ALSO WORK OUT JOG A FEW DAYS PUSH UPS, DIPS, ABS ETC.. IF YOUR HEALED OR HEALING HELP ME TO HELP OTHERS.
