Still doing some research. Found many articles from my university library. Here's one that I came across. Still haven't read through it, but I got so excited I wanted to share with you right away. Thought you all could read with me and see what you think. Maybe you could research "tacrolimus." Here's the citation:
"Exfoliative cheilitis successfully treated with topical tacrolimus"
Authors: M. Connolly, C. Kennedy
Published in: British Journal of Dermatology
Volume: 151
Pages: 241-242
Year: 2004
Found other academic paper & journals about EC, but looks like causes & cures are so elusive. Some patients managed by taking antidepressants. There seems to be some psychiatric factors involved--obsessiveness mainly. For now, it looks like treatment for EC seems to just be "management" of it.- Re: "Exfoliative cheilitis successfu... seattle

oh boo, this is just the formal name for protopic, which didn't work for many of us.
here's another excerpt:
Management of exfoliative cheilitis is difficult but it has
responded to treatment with reassurance, topical steroids,6
psychotherapy and tranquillizers.7 Some cases can resolve
spontaneously. Our patient’s condition was resistant to
emollients and life-style changes; only the very potent topical
steroid Dermovate helped, but relapse soon followed when it
was stopped. Topical tacrolimus has successfully cleared the
condition.- Re: "Exfoliative cheilitis successfu... Muhammed

This is a reply to # 1,222,296This article has been mentioned many times, the product is called Protopic.....The only reason this worked was because the person never had EC like us...they just had chronic inflammation of the lip but no growing skin problem...The only way this will work is to use it with progesterone or melatonin...
But topical tacrolimus is cancerous!! so im scared to use it.- Re: "Exfoliative cheilitis successfu... seattle

This is a reply to # 1,222,307how about this article (Sept. 2007):

This conclusion makes me sad:
"No appropriate treatment has been identified for this condition because the cause remains unclear. Patients seem to have no choice but to wait for this condition to resolve by itself."
Below are other academic articles, with citations. From my research so far, EC seems to be unconsciously self-inflicted with a psychological component. It's possible that it was initially brought on by a stressful event; non-infectious, EC can occur in individuals who are otherwise healthy (i.e., nothing wrong with adrenals, thyroid, liver, etc.)
Successful treatment/management may be psychotherapy.
Man, EC is Sooo elusive! I guess simply being happy & accepting things might work. But I AM a happy, psychologically-stable individual, and still this happened -- so frustrating! This is such an elusive condition, it makes me want to go back to school and take neuroscience just to try to understand what it is in our brains that is triggering this in our bodies.

This is a reply to # 1,222,307I'm almost certain that the mental aspect of this has an impact. Stress or whatever running down the immune system. Lack of sleep as well.- Re: "Exfoliative cheilitis successfu... seattle

Cheilitis as a variation of Candida-associated lesions
Authors: H Terai, M Shimahara
Published in Oral Diseases (2006) 12, 349–352.
In this study, 6 out of 9 patients with cheilitis had some form of oral candida.
FORMS OF CHEILITIS:
"In general, cheilitis is classified according to etiologic
factors: actinic cheilitis by the ultraviolet light, cheilitis
glandularis by inflammatory disorder of minor salivary
glands, exfoliative cheilitis by self-induced trauma,
contact cheilitis or atopic cheilitis by allergic reaction
and angular cheilitis by candidal infection (Rogers,
1999)."
"On mycological examination, C. albicans was isolated
in about 80% of our cases. Reported rates of yeast
carriage in the human mouth vary widely (from 25% to
75%), depending on the population sampled and
sensitivity of the sampling technique (Odds, 1988)."
TREATMENT:
"The treatment was miconazol gel 25 mg four times per day. Patients were instructed to drop the gel onto the tongue, spread whole mouth including lip lesions and hold for at least 10 min, and then to swallow."
"The outcomes of antifungal treatment in the present
cases suggested that one form of the varieties of oral
Candida-associated lesions might be considered in the
case of cheilitis with unknown origin that was persistent
and ineffective to the topical steroids treatment."
