i got this whole idea from the view of a normal persons lip... for example if i went to my brother and tugged on to his lip skin and ripped it.... IT WOULD BLEED... why because it is healthy/normal.
Our lips on the other hand.. its like the skin is separate i can easily rip off skin no problem.. thats not supposed to happen.
And my cheilitis started in a certain area, i had to think to remember... i picked at it and only the area i picked was damaged... until i started to try and level it out by picking other areas of the skin, thinking it would grow back normal.. i was young..i was wrong.. and i ended up with this problem for over a decade.
If you don't see where i'm coming from, just imagine going to someones lips and pulling the skin....thats the difference between ours and theirs..
