Re: exfoliative cheilitis and sjogrens syndrome

Hi Emma, no problem, glad I could help.

I have mouth breathing at night. Very hard problem to stop (have been wearing this ridiculous looking chin-strap thing for a while, which helps a bit). I don't think it's the only problem in relation to EC, though. It's most likely like additive factors which prevent the lips from achieving homoeostasis. I definitely think xerostomia is a big factor in this, though. Tweet
