I have systemic candida and have had it for around 20 or more years. My lips have been chronically and painfully chapped for eons. Nothing I put on them helps. They are so dry, there are scabs on the right now, from picking the dried skin off of them (if I don't pick the dried skin off, it gets much worse). I 've always wondered if mine was caused by candida or one of the other autoimmune issues I have.

Before saying there is a candida overgrowth because tongue is white, have you guys been diagnosed by an appropriate person?

You get candida from taking too many corticosteroids or Antibiotics . You probably got if after having EC.
