dee. are you not having build up because you are just peeling it off every morning? or you are your lips really not building up at all anymore? also when do you plan on stopping? I ask because I tried the dish soap experiment and it actually worked for about a week. but as soon as I stopped using it my lips went back to EC.   [End]

the only thing that makes me worried is that all of the people in the case have ec only on their bottom lip. which is weird. i havent read about anyone on here with ec just on the bottom lip. also the pictures dont really look like the quintessential ec lips. but i guess we dont know at what point in the cycle the photos were taken or what they were putting on their lips.   [End]

yes thats what intrigues me so much. i have yet to find a good case report before this that actually has the exact diagnosis of exfoliative cheilitis and also treats so many people with one treatment. someone should talk to a dermatologist about this. in the future this treatment would definitely be my next experiment if my current one fails.   [End]

i was doing a bit of research on wound healing since that is my current experiment. i have always known that keeping wounds moist allows them to better heal but never really knew why. i found this very interesting. many on here (including myself) tried the leave it alone experiment because we thought that it was better that the scab formed to allow the skin underneath to heal. and that keeping it moist is bad because the scabs dont form as well and exfoliate easily. but my research has shown that it is actually much better to keep them because scabs forming is BAD. among other things. here ...

from what I have read this hyaluronidase is used so that your skin will absorb better. I read the article too and it appears that they injected the lips and then used the hydrocortisone. i assume that they did this so that the skin would better absorb the hydrocortisone. they did not say that the hydrocortisone was just applied to the injection sites like you stated. they also said that the hydrocortisone did not work alone without the injections. so i think it safe to assume they did the injections so the skin would absorb the hydrocortisone better.   [End]

Hello. i posted way below but i am afraid it will get lost in all of the crap going on in that thread. i have been following this forum for awhile but havent posted for a few reasons. i have been following the discussion and trying many treatments including not applying any ointment to my lips for about 4 months. showed little progress. the main reason i decided to post today is because my current treatment is showing great progress. however i was unable to explain this before getting attacked and falsely accused of defending someone and even being someone else after my very first post by ...
