Ive been doing a not very strict candida diet for about a week now. No lactose or artificial sugars and drinking apple cider vinegar. I have been using hylands calendula ointment for 6 days now and I don't get peeling on the vermilion border on my bottom lip anymore its just dry. My top lip seems to be taking a bit of time to heal but it is improving. Corners are still cracked though. I apologize if I dont have the same type of EC as you guys.
