Why cant you hold a job? Why be self-defeating? Dont let a minor aesthetic flaw stop you from doing what you want to do ;)
As of right now, there is nothing anyone one of us can do to make this condition go away, agree? We all seem to be stuck with it at the present moment. Soo.. our ONLY choice is to either run away in 'fear' from it and hide, denying ourselves of what and who we can truly be, OR we can accept it 'right now' and do everything and anything we want, and be everything and anything we want, regardless of how we look :)
In comparison to some other conditions, exfoliative cheilitis is really a very very minor condition that is easily managed with the right routine. I would say to just accept that you have peeling lips and everything will get better :)
