Hi,
I will try to discribe what u asked for, perhaps, it will help:
1. I have ec for about 19 yrs
2. I am a male, i was about 19 when it started
3. As far as i remember the lower lip started to be very dry, cracked and as a result opened wound because of the crack and finally a derm gave me some cream but it didnt help and one day i applied on it salt with out knowing the effect(i am african), at that time i was in africa and we believed that salt helps for wounds and that is why i applied it with out cosulting anyone and in the morning when i brushed my teeth the skin just exfoliated for the first time and since then it continued exfoliating in about every week, but before it sarted i was in depression, intensive anxiety, panic, insomnia and ec started in these unforgetable days, so i relate it to the things i mentioned because of chemical(hormone) imbalance as the anxiety and Depression continued with out getting medical help, in the 90's i had a chance to be in the US and after many creams with no help, i gave a biopsy test and the result was HYPERKERATOSIS AND BACTERIAL COLONIES WAS SEEN IN THE SURFACE OF THE SKIN, so, it doesnt tell any typical problem, so it is cosidered as dry skin problem,but in 2007 i started to see on the upper lip a white tissue inside the lip where the VERMILLION starts when i wake up every morning and i rubbed the white fresh mucosa(the one before it started to be dead skin), then in a few days the whole upper lip started to have the dead skin and then it became exfoliating problem like the bottom after about 18 yrs it is so amazing, so the bottom line is that no doctor could convience me that it is a dry skin problem, because now i know that i didnt have any symptoms of dryness of the upper lips or i didnt lick it or bite it but i was in deep stress specially by insomnia and i believe as a result the upper lip started to join the bottom lip. Why now after many yrs? that i dont know,maybe the upper lip has more resistance for the chemical change due to stress, depression...but any way again after this i gave a biopsy test and it was about the same result with the first. I wrote about this for this forum but i write again that may be it will help to find the root cause.
