avoiding water

do you people avoid water contact? I think the only cure and is what is working for me is drinking at least 5 glasses of water a day but the key to drinking water is soaking the water on your lips like a compress with the water. this will make your lips become more water proof, which is what they are supposed to be, waterproof. when I had this for many years I would avoid water contact because it would make them mushy. so I think this is the only cure, to make them waterproof by compressing water on your lips Its the best way I can explain it. I am also soaking salt water on my lips once a day because the ocean water always seemed to help me. im also soaking mouthwath on my lips then washing it off. If you are avoiding water contact this may be the cause. it cured me in 1 day. I did a search on these forums and found a lot of people to be avoiding water such as drinking through a straw, not brushing there teeth and not showering to avoid contact with water. im not using any products like chapstick or Vaseline I think these feed the bacteria by being moist and warm. im just trying to eliminate possiblilitys so I can rule them out. well actually im using fresh aloe vera leaf the inner part. it dries out in seconds but applies a nice coating. im also drinking hot glasses of green tea. im just trying to give you advice don't do these things if you don't want to. I always use water and soak it in my lips.
