I'm not really sure when my E.C. started.

It definitively wasn't a major problem for me until about 2007, which is the first time I remember them being annoyingly uncomfortable and peeling.

I used to pick and bite my lips when younger too.

Regardless, perhaps biting combined with chemicals is how it can start. Then ultimately it can continue with just chemicals when you stop biting. Who knows?


One thing I should mention is that I bought some expensive AloeDent SLS and fluoride free toothpaste - however this tingled my lips more than the Sensodyne I use today. I figured tingling could potentially mean irritation and more E.C. So just be careful, I think something you might think is fine could easily not be.

I stand by trying to avoid everything to start with. Use the minimum amount of toothpaste you can and rinse during brushing.

Just go cave-man style for a while, use nothing unnatural, wash in plain water - and hopefully like me you'll see an improvement fast.

At first every time I went to the steam room, large amounts of white dead soggy lip skin was scraping off. The amount of soggy skin coming off slowly reduced to the point it's at today, barely noticeable when it does.

The corn-flake like crusts disappeared fast and it just became a lip with slightly thicker skin.

You can tell my lips are still going through some kind of cycle. But the skin involved is getting less and less, and the cycle length is getting longer.

I never used to be able to go more than 30 minutes without my lips entering my mind. Now I can go a full day.
