I have noticed that most people lick their lips every couple of minutes to wet them, they do it unconsciously, same as blinking. EC sufferers avoid saliva like the plague,because we were told that saliva worsen the condition. could it be that saliva contains substances/microorganisms essential for our lips health?I have read a post here a while back where some dude claimed his condition had been improving after kissing his new girlfriend regularly. We seal our lips with some form of moisturizer which works further to isolate them, would you be willing to stop usage of all products and lick your lips every couple of minutes?

MoreThis is a reply to # 2,412,016The problem I have with licking my lips is if I do so a few times, the area just outside my lips gets super dry and sore. It takes quite some time to get them back to normal. Also, I feel tempted to bite off any existing crusts on my lips. So I personally wouldn’t be willing to do this.

MoreThis is a reply to # 2,412,016I think you are not crazy for suggesting this. I think retaining moisture is something our lips don't naturally do anymore. I have found that a lot of kissing this year hasn't worsened my condition. On the contrary, I think I have gotten close to being healed through this next level of "constant moisture." I think licking alone will dry out the lips due to the process of evaporation, and you still need a constancy of some moisture. The trick is finding something non-aggravating to seal the moisture in, and for me, manuka honey has been great!

This is a reply to # 2,412,016We have a skin issue which means our skin barrier has been manipulated and broken down. Thats why we cant naturally have hydrated lips. Any form of lubrication/moisturisation will provide relief and improve severity. Licking the lips is not the solution in fact this will most likely irritate an already irritated condition. Think of it like this would someone with dermatitis on their feet or hands go and lick it or lubricate it with saliva?
We have chilitis which just means inflammation which really just means we have a form of dermatitis.
