When I first got EC my lower lip was 100% affected, after 10 days of desonide(2x a day) the affected area reduced to 70% and the healed area never peeled again
That's why I believe in this protocol, in my opinion the most important part is the saline solution
I did lots of tests and I'm not celiac and do not have any wheat, gluten allergy, IgE IgA and all these stuff are OK, maybe beeing celiac is just a risk factor to get EC
