I dont know if i have EC. Everything i put on my lips from organic to steroids to oils make them worse. The chapping goes away but the swelling gets worse. Do any of you experience this? Did the irritation get better after you stoped it for a while. I just want my lips to get back to the way they where befor the creams! They burn and are more swollen on top and more chapped. Water use to fix them almost to 70% after a shower so i dont know if i have EC. Maybe its just dryness? I do mouth breath b/c of allergies.

So main question how many of you do topical things make them worse?
