I remember when only a small area of my lips peeled. And when it grew back it was just EC in that area. What i want to know and have no idea of trying to figure out is, what is different from that area to the healthy ones? To the people that have EC but not the whole lip, they could help all of us by getting a doctor to conduct this test. Or even comparing an EC lip to a healthy lip? Has these tests been conducted? If they found the common difference and regulated it to the healthy one, wouldn't that be the cure? I don't mean inflammation.
