Lily I assume you're a female and older than me, so I'll be blunt because almost everyone with EC I talk to is male. In your experience, is it better to stay away from relationships from now? Not everyone who has EC can understand this condition and even I myself can't bring to kiss someone with lips like this (nor will I kiss someone with this). I can't imagine a kiss-less relationship and I was just preparing myself for the dating field right before I got this. My lips do look normal 90% of the time but they still peel and don't feel comfortable and I need constant moisturization.
