Like I said if everyone just wets his lips like I did during my leaving alone treatment he would have exactly the same result than me. I don't put so much emphasis in this method, my lips were exactly the same few weeks at the beginning and four months later, it was just a matter of aesthetic.

I mean, if I take Daniel Miller's case for example, objectively there wasn't improvement at all during all these months through the leaving alone method without wetting his lips, and just once he started to wet them, they just looked more fine than before, for me it's not more.

Yeah, maybe I would have got cured if I would have stuck in this again and again, but I seriously don't want to wait and wait without objectively seeing improvement until one day which can be in one, two, three years, maybe more, nobody knows.

I just say that chapstick doesn't play a great role in my condition, just like all topicals we all have more or less used, just enable the skin to easily fall off.

About the elasticity I don't have any problem at all, of course, during the leaving alone method without wetting lips it's kind of difficult to well stretch our lips with ugly thick flakes all over them, logically.

I don't get paranoid about this and just take it with a little backward step. Since I got this condition, I haven't had some kinds of remissions or whatever, just a peeling cycle with a slightly inflammation in the concerned area which remains no matter what I do.

In the meantime, I have the choice to go out properly without being embarrassed by these lips or let the flakes growing up hoping it will improve at one moment.

Like I said, I wasn't using chapstick before that my condition started but of course it was temporarily very linked because of the confusion we made, at least I, with vulgar chapped lips.

What I remember is that I was picking at my triangular part few months before and I think this is really a common point of this condition, maybe EC always starts by this area then spread no matter what.
