yeah i get the exact same thing, it's such a pain! it does show up less when i don't put anything on it, but i have to moisturize with something at least once a day or else they will get really flaky and the new skin that is trying to form will split in a lot of different places. Does anyone else have this problem? i shouldn't have to moisturize them every day, some people never put anything on their lips and they're fine- why do i have to do it every day? well obviously the answer is that i have EC, but i wish i know the underlying reason for it.
