Whats goin on people?
Its been awhile since I have been on here, and I must admit its great being away. I pretty much lived on this site for over a year haha.
Anyways Im at school just doing my thing. My lips are not cured, they pretty much seem to be the same as they have been for awhile, so nothing to update on. I just keep them moisturized and they look normal. Nobody notices anything, including the people I live with.
Its impossible to completely forget about EC even in this state, considering Im always moisturizing my lips. And I still want to completely get rid of it more than anything. But I dont obsess about it like I used to.
Anyways I have somewhat of a new theory for my condition, and perhaps it applies to others'. Right around when I stopped posting on here I saw someone bring up "Epiceram", and how a few people thought it helped and of course a few people didnt think it helped, as is always the case. So I looked into Epiceram and thought it seems logical for me to try. Since I started using the "Biafine" again my lips have felt and looked better making me wonder whether healing the skin is some factor in healing this for some.
I dont think that this is a wound, but I do believe that the upper layer of skin could be damaged after causing trauma for so long. For example in my case, I think that I have treated most of the inflammation but I think that the top layer of skin has been damaged after so much time peeling my lips and having crusty lips.
So from what I understand Epiceram is used for exactly this. So as soon as I read the description and how it works I thought it was worth trying.
From what I read, inflammatory skin conditions like atopic dermatitis are known to damage the skin. And Epiceram is used to heal the top layer of skin.
So my derm sent me some free samples in the mail because he said that the medication can cost a lot. I received the Epiceram today and will start using it tonight. Just thought I would tell everyone.
I might check back over the next few days to see if anyone responds, but I dont want to keep talking about what I have done in the past and all that. Forgive me, but I am tired to death of repeating it hahaha.
Anyways good luck all and stay up!
