Stay Calm Cure!

To whom it may concern,

First post here... I got EC last June after eating a mostly dairy diet, applying Carmex, and stressing out. I feel the dairy diet was the main factor, one of the main reasons the anti-candida diet works for some.

I have just cured my EC this month. At the start, I tried everything... all topicals, a few diets, liver cleanse, vitamins, etc. I saw some improvement but recently there has been drastic improvement.

I was tired of feeling self conscious so I started taking Lexapro (Escitalopram) and peeling any obvious looking stuff every day to look as normal as possible. This helped a lot on my day-to-day, allowed me to go out, date, etc. I saw slight development, but then, believe or not, I started licking my lips more and going out in sun more, and I really feel this helped in some way by dissolving the dead skin and moistening in some way. I know this is a factor that leads a lot of people to EC but I can only tell my experience.

Also, I stopped using Aquaphor/Vaseline. I don't know whether this helped or hurt, I really wish I had more confidence regarding this, but this is what I did.

My diet has been completely average/not necessarily healthy, went back to using regular soaps and toothpastes, washing, eating, drinking as normal, and just living as normal a life as possible.

I haven't peeled in over a month now, and I feel about 99% normal.

My best advice to all of you looking for a cure is to try to live a normal a life as possible. Don't suffer through "leave it alone" methods and hide in your house. I say clear off buildup gently and carefully with a tissue or something, and just try to forget about it. I had it bad, bad, bad, bad, peeling every day. Honestly, the turnaround happened within weeks to a month I would say. The lines started to return and the effected area got smaller and smaller. The color and feel of my lips went back to normal. When I press down on my lower lip with my teeth, it is no longer hard/crusty/scab, but soft lips.

I have faith all of you can have similar turnarounds. Just try not to stress your body too much with crazy diets and drastic measures, and go about your life!

I'll try to drop by to answer questions if there are any, but I feel I have presented everything that I have done pretty accurately.

I love you.
