hey longterm im not really in the know of this fibroblast theory. so what your saying is inflammation is causing lots of fibroblast to the lip aera which is causing all our crusting/hard skin? is that what your saying? and youv put these strips on your lips which stop the amount of fibroblast to the lips? whihc casues them to heal normally? i agree with you also about your post earlier i think once we know whats causing ec and how to fix it the treatment will return the lips back to normal fast.
