Hello everyone!
So I have had EC since I was 11.
I got it from the bad habit of manually peeling my lips all the time, then I started noticing that every time I used to take the skin off, it would come back and feel scaly.
When I was 19, I discovered that I had EC through this forum. I did the leave alone method for a month but couldn't stand it. Then I did the leave alone with moisture method. I applied Vaseline every single day. It's been a year now since i started this method(leave alone+leave alone with moisture). I do sometimes rub the skin off when i have to go somewhere. The main issue is this: whenever I have Vaseline on, my lips feel great, soft and i can smile, move my lips without tearing up the skin, you know what i mean :p and its crazy that as long as I have Vaseline on, my lips do not build up nor peel!! Sometimes I feel like I have normal lips, but when I do not put Vaseline for a day, my lips feel extremely dry and cracked and the peeling cycle will begin. I am certain I got EC from manually peeling my lips when I was a kid. And I know that the only way to let it heal is by leaving it alone. But is the moisture method going to ever work? I mean I can only say I am cured when I can move my lips normally when I do not have any moisturizer on it.

Here is a picture of my lips now without Vaseline before the peeling cycle starts:

So do you think its better to leave it alone without moisture or with moisture ?
