I got my liquid melatonin on friday. I've also been using PS. The liquid melatonin is fantastic but i don't think it is strong enough. It has increased my usual peeling cycle(2days), now 4 days going onto 5 2morrow and i'll continue to use it. The skin is tight, no hanging parts etc. I should have bought the cream version. This liquid melatonin is sticky on the lips. I have just been testing so far, I'm certain this is the right ingredient. I am going to do like dhamma boy and stick to using the melatonin.

My view on exfoliative cheilitis is it is a hormone imbalance due to chronic inflammation of the lip, however the lip initially was traumatized. The hormone that was exaggerated was the anti-inflammatory hormone, cortisol and it now has chronic effect on the lips. This chronic effect is the skin growing fast.


I will continue this treatment for 30 days. Thats how long it takes for the exfoliation process. I've at least managed to stretch mine from 2 days to 5... just with applying melatonin to my lips. I have a piece of paper with everything written down. I will now introduce Vit C into this. My previous efforts with Vit C were good/bad. The Vit C made the skin strenghten, to the point if i peeled there was blood but it also made my lips swollen temporarily, that is a side effect i get for using liquid vitamin C as a lip balm. I took note of how resistant the skin got. I stopped using it because of the swelling though. I want to repair the lips, make the skin be connected with blood again. I've read niacin can do this and i know Vit C can, probably because of the collagen and elastin.

I'm being patient. I want to speed up healing now. I know how to decelerate the skin cell growth, i've seen it with my eyes. Now i want to speed up repairing the lips.

If you are a new comer to EC.... like you have inflamed lips but they arent "shedding" yet. I would use a strong anti-inflammatory agent that isn't corticosteroid along with melatonin. If you have just started having the growing skin problem, i would use melatonin. Getting rid of the inflammation at the start of this can prevent the whole growing skin problem, the inflammation attracts our bodies cortisol.


the chronic cortisol to the lip is the cause of the fast growing skin, no doubt about it.


If anyone wants to build on whats been found, be my guest. Chronic
cortisol effects the thyroid, immune system, causes insulin resistance, cravings etc.. Let that be your starting point. If it didn't directly effect the skin cells, then it effected something that effected the skin cells.





srry for the long ass post.

Peace, i'll try upload a photo.. l8r 2nite.
