My SIMPLE view of EC

[THE CAUSES]
1. we all were involved in some sort of lip licking or mouth breathing, or our lips were exposed (cut or split,a a little chapped)

[INFLAMMATION]
2. There is definetely inflammation, protopic supresses the growth slighty (clear indication). People who take cortisone shots also notice the growth slows, so inflammation is not debatable.

[EVERYDAY LIFE]
3. The FACT that the lips ALWAYS grow skin suggests to me that there is something there ALL THE TIME. We do not go out all the time, so its not the air, we breath all the time and we dont really go a single day without opening our mouths (either to talk or eat or just breath, blow etc.)

[WHAT MAKES US DIFFERENT]
4.People lick there lips EVERYDAY!!!! i see it non stop, BUT WHAT MAKES US DIFFERENT to obtain a disease from it???
The answer (for me) is bacteria in the mouth, there must be something different between the saliva of a "normal person" and my saliva.

[CONCLUSION]
5. All this info leads me to ONE thing, some sort of bacteria in the mouth. Licking the lips and breathing on them causes this, but IM NOT SAYING to tape your mouths closed and you will be cured.

[SUGGESTIONS]

I dont know if any of these tests are possible but i think we need to try them if they are:

1.SALIVA TEST (To check if everything is normal with it)

2.MOUTH BACTERIA IMBALANCE TEST (to see if there is more bad bacteria or if any other bacteria is overpowering that shouldnt be)

Thats all, i hope this post makes you think on my wave.
