My theory and plan to cure ec

I think my ec may be realted to me being stressed and depressed. Accutane triggered my ec but the real cause could be my depression, anxiety, lack of exercise and lonliness.

I have always been an introvert. Even before I got ec, I used to be very concious and stressed about my lips as they are quite big. I used to be very thin and due to my thin face, my lips would look even bigger. And then I got Acne for which I took Antibiotics and accutane. Accutane caused my lips to become very dry and I used to peel and lick my lips a lot. That started the cycle. But I can clearly remember that my lips would become dry very often even before taking accutane.

The reason why there is no cure for ec could be because ec is more of a psychological problem. Accutane triggered ec but after getting ec, the stress and avoiding going out or communicating with people could be the reason why ec didn't go away even after discontinuing accutane. I was very shy and anxious since childhood. I have never exercised in my life. I also used to be constipated all the time in my childhood. All the stress and overthinking made my body toxic and the toxins found their way out through the lips.

Some supporting views for my theory:
There are millions of people who take accutane and very few of them get ec. If everyone who took accutane got ec, there would be so many people with ec. My friend and sis took accutane and they didn't get ec. They both are extroverts and are mostly out with friends enjoying. That means they are happy.

A case study showed that one man was cured of ec after taking antidepressants.

Ec is mostly seen in people who lead modern sedentary lifestyle. If it was due to some deficiency, most people in underdeveloped countries or people on the streets, beggars etc would be having ec.

I noticed that the amount of sleep also affected my lips. I have never gone to sleep before 12:30-1 am in the past few years. One day I slept at 2 and got up at 6:30 and that day I noticed that the inner part of my lips were red and lips were dry. Although it could be because of the winter but the red line went away the next day when I had enough sleep.


Here is what I am planning to deal with my ec:
Sleep before 11pm and get atleast 8 hours of sleep
Join a gym
Eat a better diet and fruits everyday
Socialize more
Try not to think about my lips and keep myself busy.

I don't think any cream or any medicine will cure my ec . A healthy lifestyle with a good diet can cure it and even if it doesn't, it will improve my quality of life.
