Re: Do I even have exfoliative cheilitis?

Thanks a lot for your message and pictures. I think my condition is more severe than yours so, unfortunately, I am not seeing these fast results. However, I do think gloves in a bottle is the best moisturiser I have tried so far since my EC became really severe because all other moisturisers just cause my dry lip buildup to fall off and my lip to become more raw. Gloves in a bottle seems to form a barrier over the build up so it doesn't fall off too soon but it also seems to be doing a good job at hydrating. So thanks for the recommendation. I'll stick with it and keep you updated.

Do you have this problem where you buildup starts on your inner lips and the skin there seems to sort of form a pocket of air (almost like a blister) that you can feel and squash with your fingers (hard to explain) ? I am trying out an artificial saliva product on my inner lips because I am convinced the problem is to do with my mouth being too dry on the inner border of my mouth (maybe I have dry mouth syndrome).


Also, sorry to hear you are feeling bad Franco.


If you don't have Aquaphor in your country, try Vaseline. It's almost as good. The key, though, is consistency. You have to apply it a lot (more than once an hour, basically every time it rubs off your lips). Tweet
