This is a reply to # 1,949,415Yes, I am one of those people who left my lips alone over 10 months. By the way, MontrealHomegrown's lips healed through special diet instead of leaving them alone. I have things wrong inside my body so I am not 100% healthy. What I was saying is doctors do not know what to test for. Most only give standard tests.
I have EC, but I think I might have a different version than the ones whose lips healed by leaving them alone. What I mean is my lips do not look disgusting like others if I leave them alone. Maybe people whose lips look disgusting have a different version of EC than me, which can be healed just by leaving lips alone. That is what I am thinking.
You have to admit that it is NOT normal to take this long for someone's lips to heal, especially if they leave their lips alone. And don't say the lips are a hard place to heal- because people's lips heal within a week after they have CO2 lasering on lip. CO2 laser makes more of a scab than EC. Something is wrong for it to take months to heal the lips whether it is problem with immune system or whatever. It is not normal.

This is a reply to # 1,949,420yes i do agree with you it shouldnt take this long BUT! think about how many times you have peeled off layers of skin? for example the very first time i had ec i started to rip and bit all the skin off it since then i have never ever let my lips fully heal! i have had ec for about 1 year so that means for me i have taken off about 365 layers of my skin on my lips through peeling it ripping it biting it puting creams on it etc etc. people that are normal and lets say get punched in the lips or split there lips severly from dryness or force takes about 3-5 weeks it does not take 1 week! so for me personally i have thought... i have never actually let my lips try to heal from day one naturally!!!!!!! so i believe like daniel the lips need to fully form alot of new layers of skin and completely rebuild the lips! thats the reason why i believe people say when they go on the leave it alone theory the skin build up becomes less and less thick! the great question what puzzles everyone is what causes ec! lip balms, tooth paste, food reaction, severe chapped lips, trauma, biting etc etc etcAdvertisement

This is a reply to # 1,949,480I don't necessarily agree. It's not like everyone that has EC has picked or ripped the skin off for extended periods of time. I, for example, started getting EC three months ago. Of course, in the beginning, I would take the white skin off thinking nothing about it, but I pretty much quit after a few days or so, because it wouldn't stop building up. The affected area was still pretty small back then. By now, it has "spread" to affect a very big part of my bottom lip, and also on the top lip. I did not extensivly rip, bite or pick skin off for it to take that long to heal.
I have left my lips alone as much as possible for somewhat like two months now, and I'm not yet seeing any improvements. So it might be that in some cases "many layers of skin need to be rebuild", but I really don't think so. I rather think that each peeling cycle might be a necessary step towards healing... regardless of how many layers of skin are rebuild... And if the lips don't heal by leaving them alone (even when leaving them for months or years), then it just might be something else that's causing EC, some kind of contact dermatitis to polution in the air, some kind of internal disease (although I also don't think that it would only affect the lips) or whatever... who knows! It is not the same thing for everyone here.. - Re: I'm cured and this is how I did ... #128628

This is a reply to # 1,949,480Yes, some people are not listening when we say over and over that we do not pick at or peel our lips. But this method still has not worked. I agree that leaving lips alone make lips less worse than they would be if you did pick or peel them. There is more to this than just leaving them alone. Overall, people need to see the whole picture here or not ignore what they do not want to hear.

Now my lips are nearly recovered and I have built up several layers I do occasionally get an ordinary cut in the lips where it will bleed and it tends to heal and recover completely in a week at most. Building up the layers is a different and far more drawn out process than simply healing a cut.- Re: I'm cured and this is how I did ... ECParent

This is a reply to # 1,949,513Everyone thinks its either internal or external - maybe it is both? Or maybe different things start it? I've read that a lot of AIDS patients get exfoliative chelitis - to me that means it has something to do with the immune system. Then maybe the peeling of the lips makes it continue. I think my sons was caused by Acne medication upsetting the immune system. My son is doing everything right now - candida diet, supplements, detoxes and also just started not peeling his lips. Hopefully it will all work together - I think a good diet has to help even when you are just leaving the lips alone. I just wish we could find a way to speed up the healing - we are looking at light therapy - which helps heal skin supposedly - just tired of spending so much money and nothing seems to help!- Re: I'm cured and this is how I did ... #128628

This is a reply to # 1,949,519ECParent,
You're a good parent to listen to and understand your son. My mom never took my lip condition seriously. She just thinks of it as chapped lips. She has no idea how it has affected my life although I've told her countless times. I think she thinks I am overreacting over chapped lips. It doesn't matter since I don't think she would have been able to help me back then.- Re: I'm cured and this is how I did ... ECParent

This is a reply to # 1,949,531Thanks for that! Sorry your Mom didn't understand - I thought my son was overreacting until I started reading these boards and saw how much people were affected - I hope you have someone who you can talk to about it - my son keeps everything to himself = I have to drag stuff out of him - but I try to be there for him as much as I can

”The formula you guys have developed is so gentle, unique, and effective.”
I just wanted to add that it's not that we "aren't listening," it's just that I hadn't really read where people on here were actually NOT peeling the white layers off their lips when they got out of the shower. I read nearly every post on here since I've become a member of this forum and I haven't really read anything about people leaving the skin on. It would seriously help if you guys posted some pictures or something to explain what you're seeing as text is hard to imagine...but I just have to ask out of curiosity, if you aren't picking your lips or taking that layer of dead skin off...then you're essentially doing the same thing as I am except for you're probably getting them wet and putting stuff on them...keep in mind when I was putting products on my lips like aquaphor and chapstick it did take the skin off continually...it wasn't like you know layers at a time, but it was a continual process throughout the entire day...so I mean it was the same thing as peeling the skin off, it's just that the product was doing it.
I guess I haven't really read a complete story from you guys yet, all I read is that "I tried this and it didn't work my lips still peel." I haven't really seen what your lips look like, I haven't seen exactly what is going on. If you did in fact leave your lips alone for 10 months, did you take any progress pictures? And if you didn't put anything on them at all when did the skin come off and did it come off as mine does? You guys kinda have me in the dark here to be honest because I can't see what is going on...I can only read...so maybe I'm not imagining what is actually happening. We all need to start taking weekly photos to document what is happening if we are to really sit down and figure this out. Me doing this for just myself may find the answer for me, but if someone else is expirencing it differently than there could possibly be another approach, but if you don't post pictures of your expirence throughout then it's really really hard to try to find what is causing it. But I do stick by with what I said, if you have some sort of disease on the inside it is extremely doubtful that it will ONLY affect the lips...so if you think there may be something wrong on the inside PLEASE document what is going on so we can ALL take a look and try to help each other out.
I do not sit here and see the world one way with this. I just, from what I read, believed that everyone was still taking the skin off, whether it be by using a product that caused it, the shower in the morning, or their fingers. All I'm asking for are some pictures and a story. And we'll go from there. I want everyone to be cured as well as myself and each week gets better for me so I have no doubts at all that my method is working for me. If my method isn't showing ANY improvements at all for you after each peel then I would like to read your story along with weekly progress pictures...and we'll just have to go from there. We will figure this out...eventually :)- Re: I'm cured and this is how I did ... #128628

This is a reply to # 1,949,669I give up here. It is like a broken record. I don't know how many times I have to say that I leave my lips alone (that also means not exfoliating after I get out of the shower) and don't apply anything on them= that is what it means to leave your lips alone.
If people have an allergy, their lips may peel. And it often only affects the lips. I think there's a lot of research you need to catch up on because certain conditions only target the lips like certain allergies. But not everyone will have EC from allergies. And not everyone will have EC from lip picking like you.- Re: I'm cured and this is how I did ... ihopethishelps

This is a reply to # 1,949,683Sorry but you're bringing nothing to the table at this point. My EC was caused by an allergy to my toothpaste. If allergies are in fact a cause, then eliminating the allergen for an extended period of time would be a viable solution, and it is in cases of contact dermatitis like mine. You discredit one theory which actually has evidence to support it just to pitch some broad idea that you can't give any specifics about. I don't think saying it's an internal problem that only affects the lips which doctors can't even diagnose is gonna cut it.- Re: I'm cured and this is how I did ... #128628

So, you admit it! There was something else you did besides only leave your lips alone. You had an allergy to a toothpaste, which you stopped using. This post of yours does not make sense. My post you replied to was about allergies being a possible cause, but you just wrote I didn't think it could be allergies.

This is a reply to # 1,949,415Hey y'all,
Thanks so much for your contributions and enthusiasm! I have been doing the leave it alone treatment for a year now (that is to say, not applying anything topical), and I have to say I have not seen any improvement from a year ago. My diet has fluctuated somewhat, but has basically been like montrealhomegrown's (minus the expensive coconut oil), and I eliminated tested food allergens for the past two months as well.
However, I have removed the dead skin with small scissors during this time, and have not let it build up past it's breaking point due to working in close proximity with children. I have found that if I don't remove it, layers will build upon layers, and it is the least noticeable when I remove the top layer all at once.
I am going to undergo more tests (Gastrointestinal panel, adrenal function, and heavy metal analysis) and then head to Brazil and see if a change in climate and being comfortably unemployed help me at all. Next year I may visit Southeast Asia and China and investigate health options there.
Ihopethishelps, I'm going to add your story to the wiki under Success Stories: Leaving it Alone. I will note the length of time you reported having the condition, as this has bearing on other sufferer's like me who are into their 5th year or more of having the condition. If you'd like to add your full case history for others to easily find, feel free to request to join the wiki once you're on the site.
Peace,
C.S.

This is a reply to # 1,950,136I think Montreal Homegrown said the coconut oil was the most important part of the diet, and it had to be a good quality coconut oil. I wonder if it has something in it that out bodies are low on. There are also coconut oil supplements, but coconut oil is a good substitute for butter or other dairy products to avoid.
I looked over his diet again. I saw that he includes a daily diet of eggs, which is a protein some people might be allergic to. But I think eggs are a common food tested by the allergist. He also listed nuts as optional, which some people might be allergic to. I will have to look at my past allergy tests to see what I was tested for. I did not think he included meat in his diet, but chicken is included. I do not think I was tested for chicken or other meats at the allergist office. I wonder if I have an allergy to meat protein. Foods allergies, not food sensitivities how up in allergy tests. You can still have allergic reactions to foods you are sensitive to. I know my allergy tests were limited or not cover all foods.
I was thinking that some people noticed improvement in their lips when they vacationed in another country because they ate different foods. American food has lots of preservatives , too.- Re: speaking up jsl123

”The formula you guys have developed is so gentle, unique, and effective.”
lipshitz sorry but if you have been removing the dead skin and not letting your lips grow wild and naturally then you have not done the leave it alone theory at all! the idea of leaving it alone is for the layers of skin to build up! i find it interesting that you dindt apply anything to the lips but did force the crusts off by clipping or pulling them off when they bulit up to much and you were unsuccesul after a whole year of applying nothing this has got me even more convinced that the crust play a major role in the healing process and thats its crucial to leave the crusts on as long as possible so the skin underneath is protected. what are your thoughts? i know how hard it is to not take the crusts off i did the same thing when i was working for 6 months so dont feel alone this condition is very hard to live with and plays huge pressure on everybodies mental stataus. thank you for your post and good luck with yopur condition i hope you get healed!

This is a reply to # 1,949,688128 read the first post of this thread i hope this heals thinks his ec was triggered by tooth paste causing him to go through what we all do peeling picking exfoliating putting creams on annti biotics etc etc
he cured his lips from rebuilding them and leaving them alone!
although i hope this helps it is a good question did you change to like a natural tooth paste or anything???- Re: I'm cured and this is how I did ... #128628

This is a reply to # 1,949,697The big picture is being lost here. If he left his lips alone, but continued to use the same toothpaste his lips probably would have not healed!!! Hence, his EC was caused by an allergy. If others have an allergy to food or something else they can't pinpoint, their lips will not heal by just leaving them alone. He was lucky to find out exactly what his allergy was.
By the way, I only brushed my teeth with water for months so I don't have an allergy to my toothpaste. I have to figure out if I have an allergy to anything, but it is a hard task.- Re: I'm cured and this is how I did ... jsl123

”The formula you guys have developed is so gentle, unique, and effective.”
i think your missing the point people that are allergic from this are alergic with stuff there whole lives like peanuts for example. you dont just wake up one day and go oh im allergic to peanuts or sea food. so what you have to try and figure out is when you got ec what were you doing different to the rest of your life for me it was putting lip balms on when i went through high school i never once put lip balms on. 6 months prior to me getting ec i was putting lip balms on like 3 times a day. the question is was it the lip balms that caused ec or was the lips reacting to something which was making me put lip balm on becasue they were uncomfortable well i guess thats the whole big question about ec. and allegries dont continue for years! if your allergic to seafood and eat sea food your body has a reaction and then it gets over it after a few days!

Why is it that men get this condition more than women?

This is a reply to # 1,949,784Girls get it too, we're just better at hiding it. I have slathered on lip balm at night and rubbed off the loosened crusts in the morning for YEARS. Or I used to bite and peel the crusts off (painful). I only attempted to leave them alone once six years ago, and am leaving them alone quite often now because I'm determined to cure my lips onceandforall.

This is a reply to # 1,949,741I'm not missing the point at all here. I never used chapsticks or lipbalms either. People can have allergy to a food they eat everyday without knowing they have an allergy to it. I recently wrote a post about allergy to protein. There are different kinds of protein. Some people are just allergic to milk protein, while other might just be allergic to meat protein, and others might be allergic to lots of types of protein. From what I know about allergies is they come and go or stay forever. Sometimes, kids' immune systems change as they get older so they lose an allergy. My nephew used to be allergic to nuts when he was a younger kid, but he lost the allergy as he became an older kid.
I'm not saying allergy is the cause of EC for everyone. What I meant about missing the point is others saying leaving lips alone will cure everyone's lips (even if they have an allergy that will keep making the lips peel).Advertisement
