I have a history with this disease that lasted from age 17 on. Iam now 24 and better then ever. I'll tell you how I got there.
When I first developed the problem it was the summer before my senior year of high school. I was a child that had dealt with anxiety his whole life that would lead to me missing up to 20 days a year of school just cause of panic attacks. That whole summer I would have episodes where my lips would peel and sometimes my skin along with it. It would usually be something that progressed over the day with the peeling taking part in the evening and then by morning everything could be better. Some mornings it was worse however. The first day of my senior year in high school was one of those mornings. I freaked out so bad that I refused to go to school and consequently dropped out of high school the same week I realized that this problem was a bigger deal then I thought. I spent the next year under house arrest. No sunlight, no tv, no friends. I lost all forms of communication and just slept most of the day. The cheilitis was effecting me the entire time. Both of these issues caused me to go into a deep
Depression that my parents didn't fully understand. The drop out was unexpected because I was a student that never had any prior disciplinary issues. My parents thought that I was just going through a phase of rebellion but that wasn't the case. After a year of punishment I tried to live life again. As my
Depression lessened so did my cheilitis. For the next 2 years I dealt with the condition but it only occured every couple of days and as long as I didn't plan anything the anxiety wasnt there. All of that didn't last for long. By the time I was 19 the condition had become more frequent then ever. It would happen daily. I would get breaks from it once every couple of weeks. Those days felt like I was released from prison for a few hours only to return the next day. I went to every doctor imaginable for this condition. I ran every kind of test possible for diffencies such as patch testing and blood test to the point where no more test could be done. The doctors were mostly clueless. In the middle of this I finally had a dermatologist diagnose my condition as exfoliative cheilitis and while I thought that was going to lead to a cure....it didn't
I went to every doctor and considered every treatment possible but the doctors kept telling me that there wasn't any treatments.
I had come to realize that no treatment would help.
I was given everything for corti steroids to b12 drops on my tongue. NOTHING helped.
I drifted further into
Depression over the next 2 years as my condition worsened. I developed stretch marks all over my body. My thighs, calves, and biceps were covered with them. My dermatologist said he had never seen anything like it with a weight gain of only 5
lbs. The stress of it all put a bearing on my relationship with my longtime girlfriend. Fear of the pealing lips that would scale up with a white crust that would peel to reveal blood put the biggest strain on my life. I didn't take my girlfriend to her senior prom because of the cheilitis. She understood but I don't think she ever got over it. I told her that if I knew I would be ok then I would go but she understood that when my skin was acting up nothing would take me out of my house. I ended the relationship because of my insecurities and just when I was on the brink of suicide I found help.
A dr. that studied eastern medicine changed my life.
. She was accustomed to seeing obese people at the wellness center that she operated but those people had something to look forward to. They could change. When she met me she cried because she didn't know for sure if she could help me. She said she could but I don't know if she believed that.
Then came the answer
I got on a diet that included fruit plus vitamins. These vitamins are common amongst pregnant women so I thought this was nuts. The second thing she gave me was the ticket.
The drink is called Xango Juice. It is a mangostein juice that comes from Asia. You only consume about 1 ounce a day and that ounce has as much vitamin c is a gallon of orange juice.
I started this plan and within a week my cheilitis disappeared and it hasn't come back. My health overal just got better and better. I drank the juice for 6 months to a year until I was about 22. Iam now 24, I only drink the juice once every few months just to make sure that the merciless disease didn't return, and it hasn't.
I don't know if it would work for everyone but its the only thing that worked for me and I had a very severe case which is way worse then the pictures on the main page of this site.
One of my dermatologist said that the lady was nuts and that it couldn't have been the thing that helped me. He was wrong. There is no doubt in my mind that she helped me.
I told another dermatologist about this and he said he had a friend that has a liver disease that by all accounts should have killed him at the age of 60. He drinks a juice similar to me and the dr. said that he is as healthy as an ox and they both credit the juice.

I'll be happy to help anyone. This might be the single most important thing I do in my life in regards to helping people so if it works for 1 of you then I will feel I've made a difference.
This site and these answers weren't around when I first developed the sickness but I wish it would have been. It would have helped me get through the most alone feeling I have ever had.
