Interesting article on the Eastern (?) treatment of Exfoliative Cheilitis.... helpful diet, treatment, ect.
Okay I stumbled on this somehow,
It seems like a really poorly translated eastern method on how they treat this condition. I'm not sure. It's a bit confusing.
Some of the dietary stuff and what not may be helpful to people who feel they got this from digestive conditions.
A part of it seems to describe the leave it dry method which I disagree with, but it's interesting nonetheless.
