I got it while I was at college my first semester. when I got nervous i would bite my lip and one day tore into the first layer. I had it for about 4 years now and the first year didnt think anything was wrong. I just thought it was scab maybe tryna heal and i would rub them everday because i didnt like going out with stuff on my lip.eventually i noticed something wasnt right and googled it and found out theres actually a name for it. Ive tried everything. Yes moisture does help. I worked at kfc for awhile and found out the process slowed down dramatically with me being in the kitchen around steam all day. I tried Antibiotics , candida diet, leaving them dry for months with nothing on them. Certain things can slow the process but i dont believe it can be fully cured. I thought about maybe scarring the lips could possibly stop them from peeling but that might be excessive. maintaining them is really easy tho once you have a daily routine.

Yea its pretty weird. I dont know whats in coke but i realized whenever i drank it and let it sit on my lips my lips felt good. They didnt get dry and felt moisturized. Yea i believe something in coke eats the build up or something. Maybe the acid.
